The Kola alkaline province of NW Russia is the type example of the occurrence of abiogenic hydrocarbons (HCs) in crystalline rocks. Methane and higher hydrocarbons, up to C5H12, are contained primarily within abundant fluid inclusions in rock-forming minerals or as free gas contained in sealed micro...
