Desorption experiments were performed on Lower Cambrian shale cores from the northeastern Sichuan Basin,China and desorbed gas was obtained for analyses of its chemical composition and stable carbon isotope.The results showed that methane(CH4) content of the desorbed gas ranges from 96.39%to 98.83%,while amounts of other gaseous hydrocarbons are pretty small.With increase of desorption time and cumulative amounts of the desorbed gas,contents of individual gas compounds vary regularly,which may result from a different adsorption capacity of shales to individual gas compounds.Stable carbon isotopic values of methane(δ13C1) and ethane(δ13C2) in the desorbed shale gas range from-32.20‰ to-29.50‰ and-37.70‰ to-36.60‰,respectively.All of the desorbed gas samples are characterized by a "reversed" order of carbon isotope,which may result from mixture of two gases generated from cracking of liquid hydrocarbons at high maturity and kerogen pyrolysis at the early hydrocarbon-generating stage.With increase of desorption time,about 2.3‰ of carbon isotopic fractionation occurs in δ13C1.This fractionation of δ13C1 may be attributed to a diffusion effect of gas during desorption process.
