Abstract: Headspace gas technology can be used to analyze physically absorbed and dissolved light hydrocarbons whose composition and content can directly reflect oil and gas information of the underlying strata. When used to surface geochemical exploration, it can predict and judge the position and properties of the transverse profile of the oil-gas zone. It can accurately predict and judge the position and properties of the longitudinal profile when employed to borehole geochemical exploration.

Key words: headspace gas technology, natural gas, geochemical exploration, surface, borehole, application
