Abstract

The ^(13)C and ^2H contents of sedimentary hydrocarbons are controlled by multiple factors including the isotopic contents of the inorganic carbon and ambient water, the isotopic fractionations imposed by the enzymes of C and H assimilation and biosynthesis, and processes that take place during diagenesis and catagenesis.
