| Abstract: | It is presented the isotopic exchange of hydrogen in natural gas, crude oil, and underground water. The general behaviour of the isotopic exchange occuring in a system with a large number of components is given. A good agreement between the calculated and the experimental isotopic distribution factors is obtained in the case of the isotopic exchange of hydrogen between methane and underground water. The deuterium concentration of the crude oil samples inserts between the values obtained for methane and underground water. This fact is due to the presence of the isotopic exchange between these fluids. |
