1. A method for enhancing hydrocarbon production comprising:
providing a field deployable system in fluid communication with a subsurface formation, wherein the field deployable system is configured to determine a geochemical signature of a sample based on clumped isotope and/or position specific isotope geochemistry analysis; obtaining one or more hydrocarbon samples from the subsurface formation at a first time and analyzing each of the hydrocarbon samples with the field deployable system to determine a baseline geochemical signature, wherein the baseline geochemical signature is based on clumped isotope and/or position specific isotope geochemistry analysis; obtaining one or more hydrocarbon sample from the subsurface formation at a second time, wherein the second time is after the first time and analyzing each of the hydrocarbon samples with the field deployable system to determine a monitored geochemical signature, wherein the monitored geochemical signature is based on clumped isotope and/or position specific isotope geochemistry analysis; comparing the monitored geochemical signature with the baseline geochemical signature; and adjusting an exploration, development, or production strategy based on the comparison.
