The principal controls on the fluid properties of biodegraded oil systems have been determined by a combination petroleum geochemistry, numerical modeling biodegradation in reservoirs, and analysis property data sets from variety geological settings. Petroleum proceeds under anaerobic conditions any reservoir that has water leg not heated to temperatures more than 80C. In most reservoirs with low concentrations aqueous sulfate, methanogenic degradation is primary mechanism degradation,...
Understanding the sources and pathways of pollutant transport to Arctic is fundamental our custody this sensitive ecosystem. To achieve such an understanding, we need go beyond a catalog environmental concentrations. Sediments, which are final sink for particle-active contaminants, can provide valuable resource assess fluxes contaminants. Here, interpret PAH distributions from widely distributed marine sediments both as indicators anthropogenic contribution illuminate pathways. We use...
At marine cold seeps, gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons migrate from deep subsurface origins to the sediment-water interface. Cold seep sediments are known host taxonomically diverse microorganisms, but little is about their metabolic potential depth distribution in relation hydrocarbon electron acceptor availability. Here we combined geophysical, geochemical, metagenomic metabolomic measurements profile microbial activities at a newly discovered sea. Metagenomic profiling revealed...
The deep biosphere is the largest microbial habitat on Earth and features abundant bacterial endospores. Whereas dormancy survival at theoretical energy minima are hallmarks of physiology in subsurface, ecological processes such as dispersal selection remain poorly understood. We investigated biogeography dispersing bacteria sea where upward hydrocarbon seepage was confirmed by acoustic imagery geochemistry. Thermophilic endospores permanently cold seabed correlated with underlying seep...
Abstract. The Scotian Slope in the North Atlantic Ocean extends ~500 km along coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, descending from 400 m to 5 water depth. With a maximum sediment thickness ~24 km, large portions deeper basin are affected by salt tectonism, which has greatly impacted stratigraphy and locally facilitated hydrocarbon seepage ocean seafloor. surface sediments slope may therefore be home microbial communities, respond complex geochemical drivers that not only include communication with...
The Ordovician Trenton Group (Sherman Fall and Cobourg formations) the Lindsay (Collingwood Member) Blue Mountain formations of southwestern Ontario were examined using Rock-Eval pyrolysis, gas chromatography, chromatography-mass spectrometry, incident-light microscopy to evaluate their paleodepositional environments, thermal maturities, source rock potential. All units contain sufficient amount oil-prone (type II), predominantly marine organic matter be considered as petroleum rocks....
