Abstract Light hydrocarbons in an underground hydrocarbon reservoir can reach the surface in a trace yet detectable amount through near-vertical microseepage, and some of them may occur in free form in the pores of soil or rock particles. Hydrocarbon in soil gas can indicate the current compensatory active microseepage of hydrocarbons in deep reservoirs; therefore, it is thought to be one of the most reliable methods in geochemical prospecting for oil and gas. The collection of free gas from soil is a key technique for obtaining the geochemical anomalies of microseepage hydrocarbons in Quaternary sediments. A new portable soil gas collection device was developed, which is easy to operate, easy to carry and has good air tightness. The ways of soil free gas fidelity collection are summarized through long-term practice. Soil gas method was applied to geochemical prospecting for oil and gas in Linan-Qianguantun area on the south slope of Huimin sag, Jiyang depression and X well block of Akyasu area, Tarim basin. The soil free hydrocarbon anomalies can well reflect the near surface information from vertical microseepage as well as the distribution characteristics of oil and gas accumulations underground. The surface geochemical anomaly of oil and gas accumulations is significantly different from that of the background area. The results show that the soil gas method is very effective and deserves wide application in oil and gas exploration.
