Breakthroughs in shale gas exploration and production technology in China point to a
possible solution to Pakistan's current energy crises. In this study, we evaluate the shale gas …

Unconventional hydrocarbon exploration is needed in the current oil and gas crisis scenario.
Therefore, the development of conditions for unconventional hydrocarbon exploration is …

An integrated study based on petrography, SEM and XRD analysis has been carried out for
petrofacies and diagenesis of the Lockhart Limestone in the Upper Indus Basin, Pakistan to …

This study deals with organic matter in the Early Jurassic Datta shale in the Upper Indus
Basin, Pakistan. Organic geochemical and microscopic techniques were used to investigate …

Deep sedimentary successions, which are usually over-pressured, require accurate
prediction of abnormal pressures to avoid catastrophic incidents, eg, well blowouts; thus …

Abstract The Salt Range, Pakistan exhibits the most complete record of sedimentary
successions, ranging from Precambrian to Quaternary period and acts as a natural field …

Unconventional shale‐gas reservoir assessment concurs numerous exploration challenges,
often related to their complex lithology, which reflects secular changes in depositional …

The present study aims to investigate the origin, type, thermal maturity and hydrocarbon
generation potential of organic matter and paleo-depositional environment of the Early …

A detailed lithostratigraphic, bulk organic geochemical and palynofacies analyses were
performed on organic-rich shale and coal samples from the Hettangian Datta Formation in …

This study focuses on the implications of a global hyperthermal event, the Paleocene–
