Description and terrestrial ages of the Calama Area Meteorite Collection (Atacama Desert, Chile)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a comprehensive study of a meteorite collection from the Atacama Desert (Chile), the driest and most climatically stable desert in the world. This collection includes meteorites from three adjacent Dense Collection Areas (DCAs) in the northern part of the Atacama Desert: Calama, Sierra Gorda, and Chug Chug, referred to as the ...

Controls on organic matter enrichment and reservoir heterogeneity in lacustrine shales: insights from the Songliao Basin, NE China

Frontiers in Earth Science
The classic theory posits that deep-water environments (e.g., deep/semi-deep lakes in basin centers), are more conducive to the development of high-quality hydrocarbon sources.

Kinetic study of marine and lacustrine shale grains using Rock-Eval pyrolysis: Implications to hydrocarbon generation, retention and expulsion

, 2018
The kinetic parameters of marine and lacustrine shale grains (4 mm) were retrieved by using Rock-Eval pyrolysis in comparison with finely ground powder (<0.178 mm) and kerogen of same samples.

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Multi-Scale Pore Structure Heterogeneity of Lacustrine Shale in the Gaoyou Sag, Eastern China

, 2023
The success of shale oil exploration and production is highly dependent on the heterogeneous nature of the reservoir pore structure. Despite this, there remains limited research on the heterogeneity characteristics of pores at different scales in ...

Logging identification and prediction of lithofacies of lacustrine shale system in Shichang Sub-Sag, Nanpu Depression

, 2021
The study of the lithofacies of shale formation is the basic work for shale oil exploration.Due to the limited distribution of the continental lacustrine basin and the fast variations of lithofacies, it is difficult to accurately identify and predict the

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1179-1194, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

1D Basin Modelling of Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Source Rocks in the Southern Pletmos Sub‐Basin, Outeniqua Basin, Offshore South Africa

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1382-1411, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pletmos sub‐basin in the Outeniqua Basin, offshore South Africa, is divided by the Superior, Pletmos and Plettenberg faults into northern and southern depocentres. In this study, geological and organic geochemical data together with 1D basin modelling were used to investigate the burial, thermal and maturation histories, and the timing of ...

The importance of the oil-shale Bings of West Lothian, Scotland, to local and national biodiversity [PDF]

, 2006
The oil-shale bings of West Lothian, Scotland, are a group of post-industrial waste sites, unique in Britain and Western Europe. The industrial exploitation of oil-bearing rocks has created a habitat with its own distinctive flora and fauna.

A Triassic chronostratigraphic and palaeogeographic framework for the Utsira High area, northern North Sea: Reconstructing a basin‐scale drainage divide

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2417-2453, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Triassic succession of the northern North Sea comprises a series of interbedded sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates deposited under a fluctuating arid to semi‐humid climate regime, which are often difficult to correlate regionally due to differing lithostratigraphic schemes and poor age control. Despite existing regional studies on the

The depositional settings of organic-rich shale in the faulted lacustrine basin: A case study of the Y1 Member of the Yingcheng Formation in the Songliao Basin [PDF]

Oil Shale
Volcanic activity is often associated with the development of faulted lacustrine basins. Organic-rich shale in such basins usually contains abundant volcanic material.
