| Abstract | This study presents an overview on the geological setting and geochemical characteristics of Pleistocene shallow gas accumulations in eastern Qaidam Basin, NW China. Five largest gas accumulations discovered in this region have a combined enclosure area of about 87 km$^{2}$ and 7.9 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of proven plus controlled gas reserves. The dominance of methane (>99.9%) and the δ$^{13}$C and δD values of methane (−68.51‰ to −65.00‰ and −227.55‰ to −221.94‰, respectively) suggest that these gases are biogenic, derived from the degradation of sedimentary organic matter by methanogens under relatively low temperatures (<75°C). A sufficient supply and adequate preservation of organic matter in the Pleistocene sediments is made possible by the lake basin’s high altitude (2600–3000 m), high water salinity (>15%) and strong stratification. The deposition and extensive lateral occurrence of shore and shallow lake sands/silts in beach sand sheets and small bars provided excellent reservoirs for the biogenic gas generated from adjacent rocks. Effective but dynamic gas seals were provided by such factors as intermittent vertical variations in the sediment lithologies, hydraulic trapping due to mudstone water saturation, the hydrocarbon gradient created as a result of gas generation from potential caprocks, and the presence of a regional caprock consisting of 400–800-m-thick mudstones and evaporites. It appears that the most favorable traps for large gas accumulations occur on structural slopes near the major gas kitchen, and the prolific gas pools are often those large gentle anticlines with little faulting complication. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
