Abstract
A system and method is provided for enhancing hydrocarbon production. The method and system involve geochemistry analysis and include multiply substituted isotopologue and position specific isotope geochemistry for at least one hydrocarbon compound of interest associated with free gas and sorbed gas. The method and system involve using clumped isotope and position specific isotope signatures to enhance monitoring of well and stimulation performance.
