Comparison of Organic-Rich Shales of Pennsylvanian Age in Indiana with New Albany Shale [PDF]

open access: yesAAPG Bulletin, 1983
ABSTRACT Abundant black organic-rich shales occur in rocks of Pennsylvanian age in southwestern Indiana. They have not been well characterized except for a few thin intervals in small areas, the best example being at the abandoned Mecca Quarry in west-central Indiana.

Predicting the characteristic parameters of shale sweet-spot with complex resistivity

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2020
It is important to predict the capacity related parameters of reservoir such as brittleness, total organic carbon (TOC), in-situ stress, maturity of organic carbon (Ro), and buried depth in shale gas exploration and exploitation.

Molecular Simulation of CH4 Nanoscale Behavior and Enhanced Gas Recovery in Organic-Rich Shale

open access: yes, 2022
Occurrence and transport are two important nanoscale behaviors in the exploitation of shale gas. Nanopores in a realistic shale organic matrix are composed of kerogen molecules, which will have a great impact on surface-gas interactions and gas ...

Depositional conditions of siliceous microfossil-rich shale during the Ordovician–Silurian transition of south China:Implication for organic matter enrichment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Knowledge of the paleoenvironment is crucial to understand organic matter enrichment and shale gas development. Like organic matter, siliceous microfossils such as radiolarians and sponge spicules are widely distributed in Late Ordovician to early ...

Lacustrine fine-grained sedimentary features and organicrich shale distribution pattern: A case study of Chang 7 Member of Triassic Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin, NW China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2015
The Chang 7 Member of Triassic Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin is taken as an example to study the distribution rule and major controlling factors of the fine-grained sedimentary system by core description, thin section observation, X-ray diffraction ...

The influence of CO2 and CH4 mixture on water wettability in organic rich shale nanopore

open access: yesJournal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2020
CO2 has been considered as an effective fluid to replace CH4 in shale rock. Wetting behavior of water in CO2 / CH4 mixtures in organic nanopores is a key parameter influencing CO2 based enhanced gas recovery processes in shale.

Sedimentary and geochemical characteristics of the Triassic Chang 7 Member shale in the Southeastern Ordos Basin, Central China

open access: yesPetroleum Science, 2019
The Ordos Basin is the largest petroliferous basin in China, where the Chang 7 Member shale serves as the major source rock in the basin, with an area of more than 100,000 km2.

Oil retention and porosity evolution in organic-rich shales [PDF]

open access: yesAAPG Bulletin, 2017
ABSTRACT Petroleum is retained in shales either in a sorbed state or in a free form within pores and fractures. In shales with oil resource potential, organic matter properties (i.e., richness, quality, and thermal maturity) control oil retention in general. In gas shales, organic pores govern gas occurrence.

Organic-rich shale caprock properties of potential CO2 storage sites in the northern North Sea, offshore Norway

open access: yesMarine and Petroleum Geology, 2020
Assessment of the geomechanical properties of organic-rich shale caprocks is critical for a successful CO2 storage into a saline aquifer. In this study, we investigated the geochemical properties of the organic-rich shale caprocks of the Draupne and ...
