Abstract:The inexplicable distribution of souring wells (presence of H2S gas) of the unconventional Montney Formation hydrocarbon resource (British Columbia; BC) is investigated by analysing sulphur and oxygen isotopes, coupled with XRD mineralogy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX). The sulphur isotopic analysis indicates that the sulphur isotopic range for Triassic anhydrite (δ34S 8.9 to 20.98‰ VCDT) is the same as the H2S sulphur that is produced from the Montney Formation (… Show more
