The contourite paradigm was conceived a few decades ago, yet there remains a need to
establish a sound connection between contourite deposits, basin evolution and …

There has been a revival in hydrocarbon source rock characterization and development
associated with growing interest in unconventional resources, where these fine-grained …

The effect of shale composition and fabric upon pore structure and CH4 sorption is
investigated for potential shale gas reservoirs in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin …

Artificial shale samples with equivalent vitrinite reflectance values (VRo) ranging from 0.69%
to 4.19% were obtained from an anhydrous pyrolysis experiment. Microporous and …

Mudstone is the most abundant sedimentary rock and variously acts as sources, seals, and
shale gas reservoirs in petroleum systems. Many important physicochemical properties of …

Devonian–Mississippian strata in the northwestern region of the Western Canada
sedimentary basin (WCSB) were investigated for shale gas potential. In the subsurface …

Submarine landslides are ubiquitous along Mediterranean continental margins. With the aim
of understanding mass‐wasting processes and related hazard at the scale of a large marine …

Submarine landslides pose a hazard to coastal communities as they can generate powerful
tsunamis, and threaten critical offshore infrastructure such as seafloor cable networks that …

Natural fractures are widespread in shales in sedimentary basins and can significantly
increase the bulk permeability and enhance fluid flow, which are thereby considered to be a …

Organic porosity is an important component of the pore system in many shale hydrocarbon
reservoirs. While much research has been directed towards understanding the development …
