This paper reports the application of thermodynamic models, including equations of state, to ternary CH4H2ONaCl fluid inclusions. A simple equation describing pressure–temperature–salinity relations on the CH4hydrate-liquid-vapor surface has been developed to calculate the NaCl contents (salinities) of inclusions, where the dissociation pressure of CH4hydrate coexisting with vapor and liquid at a given temperature is calculated with a pressure equation of pure CH4. The pressure equation is a function of temperature and CH4Raman peak position shift corrected by Ne lamp. With these relations and the latest CH4solubility and PVTx models, a new iterative approach is presented to calculate the CH4contents of CH4H2ONaCl inclusions on the assumption that the bulk molar volume of an inclusion at the melting temperature of CH4hydrate and at the vapor bubble disappearance (homogenization) temperature are identical. A prominent merit of this method is that the compositions, molar volumes and homogenization pressures of CH4H2ONaCl inclusions can be simultaneously obtained without having to use volume fractions of vapor bubbles at the dissociation temperatures of CH4hydrates determined based on optical observations or measurements. The homogenization pressures and isochores of CH4H2ONaCl fluid inclusions from updated models are briefly discussed. The code to estimate PVTx properties of inclusions in the ternary system CH4H2ONaCl, based on microthermometric and Raman data, can be obtained from Chemical Geology or the corresponding author (maoshide@163.com).
