Organic matter (OM)-hosted pores are important constituents of the pore system of black
shales and play a crucial role in determining their methane adsorption capacity and porosity …

The thermal maturity of lower Paleozoic graptolite-bearing marine sediments, which host
many hydrocarbon deposits worldwide, has long been difficult to determine due to the …

Abstract The overmature Precambrian to Lower Paleozoic marine shales from China contain
relatively simple organic matter (OM) composition, which is dominated by in-source solid …

Vitrinite reflectance is perhaps the most widely used property to calibrate paleothermal
histories, and the most common model for that purpose is Easy% Ro. This paper reviews the …

Fine characterization of pore systems and heterogeneity of shale reservoirs are significant
contents of shale gas reservoir physical property research. The research on micro-control …

Thermal maturity is critical to evaluate petroleum systems and to interpret biomarker results
for paleoenvironmental and geobiology studies. Many thermal maturity indices were …

Organic matter (OM)-hosted pores play important roles in controlling the porosity and gas
content of gas shales. However, the control of organic pore development and preservation …

Several large gas reservoirs, including the Weiyuan and Anyue gas fields, have been
discovered in the Ediacaran Dengying Formation in the Sichuan Basin, indicating vast …

The most commonly used parameter for thermal maturity calibration in basin modelling is
mean random vitrinite reflectance (R o). However, R o suppression has been noted in …

The Permian source rocks in the Sichuan Basin, Southwestern China, are hypothesized to
have undergone thermal over-maturation associated with the Emeishan mantle plume. In …
