Dielectric effects and the coupled electrostatics between the nanoconfined and the
internal/external aqueous media contribute to the observed deviations of chemistry within …

Fine‐grained sediment (mud) and lithified equivalents (mudrock, mudstone, and shale)
contain components similar to ones in coarser sedimentary materials, albeit of such small …

Shale reservoirs, composed of fine-grained and organic-rich sedimentary rock, are common
unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. Magnetic resonance (MR) relaxometry, a non …

Understanding pore growth is of great significance to investigating reservoir performance in
shale-gas systems. However, different from the marine shale reservoir, the lacustrine shale …

We develop a microfluidic experimental platform to study solute transport in multi-scale
fracture networks with a disparity of spatial scales ranging between two and five orders of …

The volcanic and/or hydrothermal activities are considered as important factors affecting the
sedimentation processes of fine-grained sedimentary rocks in some cases. Recent works …

13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy shows that high-resolution spectra of
isotopically enriched CH4 and CO2 can be obtained for a millimeter-sized natural shale …

Pyrolysis experiments were conducted on lacustrine organic-rich shale from Cangdong Sag
in Bohai Bay Basin, China, to investigate the impact of hydrocarbon generation on shale …

The significantly different geological processes experienced by the shales in the southern
Sichuan Basin provide a means for comparing their pore characteristics and their …

The identification and classification of lithofacies' types are very important activities in shale
oil and gas exploration and development evaluation. There have been many studies on the …
