ABSTRACT

This study was designed to compare and contrast variations in acid-released ("adsorbed") light-alkane and aromatic hydrocarbons collected on a detailed grid over Kinsale Head gas field, offshore Ireland (Blocks 48/20, 48/25, and 49/16), with those collected on a regional grid that sampled the North Celtic Sea Basin. This study also tests the limits of acid-released-gas methods with respect to bottom conditions, because extremely sandy bottoms characterize the region.
