Imaging and image analysis of shale provides insights into the pore and fracture networks, disposition of compositional elements, and signatures of diagenesis and fluid flow …
The evolution of porosity in shales with increasing maturity was examined in a suite of five New Albany Shale samples spanning a maturity range from immature (vitrinite reflectance …
Since the discovery of pores in the organic matter of gas shales, the conventional thought has been that the pores formed as a result of hydrocarbon generation during the thermal …
ABSTRACT The Marcellus Formation of Pennsylvania represents an outstanding example of an organic matter (OM)–hosted pore system; most pores detectable by field-emission …

Hydrocarbon generation reactions occur within organic-rich shales as a response to thermal maturation. Here, we report observations on samples from the organic-rich Mississippian …
This contribution reports on the study of the pore space morphology in two early mature (VRr= 0.59 and 0.61) samples of Posidonia Shale from the Hils Syncline in Germany, using …
