Shale oil has received increasing attention as an essential replacement for conventional oil
resources. Shale oil recovery is a complex process controlled by interactions of many factors …

Abstract Micropores (< 2 nm) play an important role in coalbed methane adsorption,
desorption, and diffusion. However, the mechanisms of micropore formation and evolution …

Persulfate (PS)-based chemical oxidation is an effective method for the remediation of
petroleum-contaminated soils, but higher concentrations of PS (3–40%) may lead to soil …

Thermal simulation of late gas generation of source rock is critical for evaluating the
potential of deep gas and shale gas. Retained oil and its interactions with thermally mature …

This study evaluates the organofacies and petroleum generation potential of kerogen of
Early Cretaceous Wealden Shales in the Lower Saxony Basin, Germany. Methods applied …

In this study, we focus on a quantitative characterization of aromatic cluster evolution in
vitrinite-rich coal during coalification processes. By employing high-resolution transmission …

We present a comprehensive new pyrolysis data set for a maturity series (0.55–2.86%
vitrinite reflectance) of Pennsylvanian coals (Westphalian, Ruhr Basin). The broad similarity …

Abstract The Richardson Trough in northern Yukon hosts several occurrences of
polymetallic hyper-enriched black shales (HEBS), comprising semimassive sulfide layers …

Recently, petroleum exploration of the Dongpu depression has become increasingly difficult,
primarily because of the unclear potential and distribution of deep strata resources …

Thermal maturation in the shale oil/gas system is inherently complex due to the competitive
interplays between hydrocarbon generation and retention processes. To study hydrocarbon …
