The geochemical gas field in surface sediments in the Southwest subbasin of East Vietnam Sea: distribution, origin, and comparative features with other regions of Western East Vietnam Sea

We analyzed 39 gas samples, including carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon gases C1–C4, hydrogen, and helium, in surface sediment from 19 gravity cores collected from the SW sub-basin of the East Vietnam Sea (EVS) using the headspace and vacuum degassing methods. Based on the result, we discussed the distribution and origin of gases in the southwest sub-basin EVS surface sediments.
