The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

ORGANIC GEOCHEMICAL ASSESSMENT AND SHALE GAS POTENTIAL OF LOWER SILURIAN ORGANIC RICH SHALE IN THE GHADAMES BASIN, NORTH AFRICA; pp. 337–352 [PDF]
The Silurian organic rich shale is the main source of hydrocarbons in the Ghadames Basin in North Africa. The basin has been widely characterized as a source rock for Ordovician oil and gas; yet understanding this shale as a shale resource play remains ...

Effect of oxidizing working fluid on permeability of organic-rich shale
Organic-rich shale deposits in the anoxic reductive environment, and is rich in pyrite, chlorite, organic matter and other reductive components. In the process of oil and gas development, a large amount of oxidizing working fluids enter the reservoir ...

Influence of geochemistry on toughening behavior of organic-rich shale [PDF]
Our research objective is to understand the influence of geochemistry on the fracture behavior of organic-rich shale at multiple length-scales. Despite an increasing focus on the fracture behavior of organic-rich shale, the relationships between geochemistry and fracture behavior remain unclear and there is a scarcity of experimental data available. To

Investigation on the Influence of Water-Shale Interaction on Stress Sensitivity of Organic-Rich Shale [PDF]
Shale reservoirs are characterized by low permeability and natural fractures. In the process of reservoir development, the working fluid enters the reservoir. This may result in the formation of new fractures or expansion of natural fractures. When shale reservoirs are exploited, the fluid pressure in the fracture or pore is reduced.

Characteristics and Origin of Organic Matter in Triassic Lacustrine Shale From Fuxian Oilfield
Along with the successful exploitation of shale oil, organic-rich shale has attracted great attention to the geologists. However, quantitatively differentiating the origin of organic matter in shale is still challenging due to the nature of its complex ...

UK data and analysis for shale gas prospectivity [PDF]
Organic-rich shale contains significant amounts of gas held within fractures and micropores and adsorbed onto organic matter. In the USA shale gas extracted from regionally extensive units such as the Barnett Shale currently accounts for 6% of gas ...

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)
