Noble Gas Database Table

<div>The noble gas database table contains publicly available results from Geoscience Australia's organic geochemistry (ORGCHEM) schema and supporting oracle databases for molecular and noble gas isotopic analyses on natural gases sampled from boreholes and fluid inclusion gases from rocks sampled in boreholes and field sites. Data includes the borehole or field site location, sample depths, shows and tests, stratigraphy, analytical methods, other relevant metadata, and the molecular and noble gas isotopic compositions for the natural gas samples. The molecular data are presented in mole percent (mol%) and cubic centimetres (at Standard Pressure and Temperature) per cubic centimetre (ccSTP/cc). The noble gas isotopic values that can be measured are; Helium (He, <sup>3</sup>He, <sup>4</sup>He), Neon (Ne, <sup>20</sup>Ne, <sup>21</sup>Ne, <sup>22</sup>Ne), Argon (Ar, <sup>36</sup>Ar, <sup>38</sup>Ar, <sup>40</sup>Ar), Krypton (Kr, <sup>78</sup>Kr, <sup>80</sup>Kr, <sup>82<</sup>Kr, <sup>83</sup>Kr, <sup>84</sup>Kr, <sup>86</sup>Kr) and Xenon (Xe, <sup>124</sup>Xe, <sup>126</sup>Xe, <sup>128</sup>Xe, <sup>129</sup>Xe, <sup>130</sup>Xe, <sup>131</sup>Xe, <sup>132</sup>Xe, <sup>134</sup>Xe, <sup>136</sup>Xe) which are presented in cubic micrometres per cubic centimetre (mcc/cc), cubic nanometres per cubic centimetre (ncc/cc) and cubic picometres per cubic centimetre (pcc/cc). Acquisition of the molecular compounds are by gas chromatography (GC) and the isotopic ratios by mass spectrometry (MS). Compound concentrations that are below the detection limit (BDL) are reported as the value -99999.</div><div><br></div><div>These data provide source information about individual compounds in natural gases and can elucidate fluid migration pathways, irrespective of microbial activity, chemical reactions and changes in oxygen fugacity, which are useful in basin analysis with derived information being used to support Australian exploration for energy resources and helium. These data are collated from Geoscience Australia records and well completion reports. The noble gas data for natural gases and fluid inclusion gases are delivered in the Noble Gas Isotopes web services on the Geoscience Australia Data Discovery Portal at https://portal.ga.gov.au which will be periodically updated.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

Statement

Noble gas isotope database table was created in the ORGCHEM schema to release the noble gas isotope values for Australian natural gases and fluid inclusion gases. These data are analysed by specialist laboratories with most of the data provided under contract to Geoscience Australia and released via Geoscience Australia record data releases, with some data being compiled from well completion reports. These data are released in the Noble Gas web services in the Geoscience Australia Data Discovery Portal at https://portal.ga.gov.au which will be periodically updated.
