Gold tube thermal simulation experiments represent a pivotal tool in exploring hydrocarbon
generation kinetics in hydrocarbon source rocks. Compared to other reaction systems, the …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation in the Songliao Basin, NE China is
known to contain excellent petroleum source rocks. In addition, it serves as a valuable …

Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) and highly selective and sensitive gas
chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC–MS–MS) detections were …

The lacustrine shales in the Lodève Basin, southern France, serve as excellent archives of
paleo-lake development as well as climatic evolution during the Early Permian. In this study …

The Qaidam Basin is a prominent oil and gas exploration and production base of NW
China's Jurassic coal-bearing strata. Coal-bearing mudstones are important source rocks for …

Chemical composition of sediments is often used to evaluate paleoclimate condition,
provenance, tectonic setting, depositional condition, and paleoproductivity. However, the …

The discovery of natural gas trapped in the late Neogene Shizigou Formation in the
Yikeyawuru anticline indicates the potential for additional microbial gas reservoirs outside of …

Oligocene–Pliocene shale reservoirs in the Western Qaidam Depression represent typical
mixed shale deposits characterized by moderate organic matter (OM) abundance and …

The formation and accumulation of lacustrine organic-rich shales are strongly related to
palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental conditions. Middle Jurassic organic-rich lacustrine …

The shale sedimentary environment is crucial for evaluating shale gas reservoirs and sweet
spot zones. The Xiahuayuan Formation in the Xuanlong Depression of the Yanshan area is …
