Notes:
Test No. is laboratory identification number
Depth is in feet to mid-point of perforation or bottom of casing.
Isotopic composition in standard per mil notation, carbon relative to PDB and hydrogen relative to VSMOW.  See text.
Empty cells indicate that component concentration was too low for reliable stable isotope measurements.
