Isotopically anomalous CH 4-rich gas escapes at low flow rate and ambient temperature from seeps in serpentinized ultramafic rock in the Zambales Ophiolite, Philippines. The major components of the gas are CH 4 (55 mole%) and H 2 (42 mole%); the CH 4 CO 2 ratio is> 1800 and the CH 4 He ratio is 9.2· 10 4. The δ 13 C-value of the CH 4 is− 7.0±0.4‰(PDB),∼ 8‰ higher than the highest published values for CH 4 in other natural gases and hot springs, but similar to values commonly attributed to mantle carbon. The 3 He 4 He ratio is 5.70· 10− 6, 4.1 times the atmospheric ratio, indicative of a substantial mantle He component. The δD-values of CH 4 and H 2 are− 136 and− 590‰, respectively, consistent with equilibration temperatures of 110–125° C. Carbon and He isotopic data could be consistent with derivation of the Zambales gas directly from a reduced mantle. However, phase equilibria and H isotope data indicate that the gas also could have been produced by reduction of water and carbon during low-temperature serpentinization of the ophiolite.
