The present state of natural gas research could be described as comprising a substantial amount of empirical wisdom with certain more or less isolated conceptual chemical and physical models on gas generation, migration and concurrent fractionation processes. The apparent lack of a comprehensive framework for quantitative description and prediction of natural gas generation and accumulation processes must be attributed to the complexity of this issue and the limited control on starting and boundary conditions of the pertaining processes in geological systems. Some basic issues of gas generation and migration that have been addressed in our recent research from an experimental and theoretical point of view will be presented and discussed in the following sections.
