Abstract The Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations are the focus of shale gas exploration in China.
Their sedimentation is affected by global and regional geological events, and the resulting …

Abstract The Upper Triassic Ma'antang Formation is not only an important set of source
rocks in the Sichuan Basin but may also be a successor for shale gas in China. In this study …

The continental lake basin is a favorable accumulation area of shale oil and gas; however,
the organic matter enrichment regularity in continental lake facies is still controversial, which …

The enrichment of organic matter is the foundation for a high-quality shale deposition. It is
generally believed that high productivity and persistent anoxic conditions facilitate the …

The study of extraordinarily high organic matter content (EHOMC) is beneficial to promote
the fine evaluation of shale oil and gas, but so far, there have been few studies on its …
