In this study, to clarify the role of water during thermal maturation on organic porosity
evolution, pore structure characteristics of the Qingshankou shale (type I kerogen) were …

An accurate description of fluid flow is critical for the prediction of the productivity of shale
gas reservoirs. In this paper, we present the current advances and a systematic summary on …

Shale samples with type III kerogen from the Damoguaihe formation were exposed to
hydrous and anhydrous pyrolysis (HP and AHP) in the temperature range of 300–450° C …

The marine–continental transitional Permian Shanxi Formation, which is located on the
eastern margin of the Ordos Basin, is expected to be another set of economic gas shale for …

Organic matter (OM)-hosted pores play a crucial role in hydrocarbon storage and migration
in unconventional shale oil and gas systems. An accurate identification of different OM …

The successful exploration of shale oil in the clay-rich Gulong shale of Songliao Basin has
got wide attention. While silica-rich and carbonate-rich shale reservoirs have been well …

Pore characteristics of the formation exert significant control over both the development and
enrichment of shale plays, as well as CO 2 storage capacity of shale reservoirs. This …

The occurrence and enrichment of organic matter (OM) are influenced by the deposition of
minerals in shale reservoirs. However, inadequate research has been published on the …

Organic matter (OM) compositions greatly affect hydrocarbon generation and expulsion
processes, which are critical for the organic porosity development in shale. Lacustrine shale …

Micro-plugs of the Upper Devonian to Lower Mississippian Woodford Shale from the
Ardmore Basin in southern Oklahoma were analyzed before and after hydrous pyrolysis …
