Depositional processes of varved sediments from proglacial Lago Frías since 1800 CE (North Patagonian Andes, Argentina)

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The glacierized Valle Frías in Northern Patagonia is one of the best‐studied valleys in South America and includes varved sediments from Lago Frías. We complement this lacustrine record with a high‐resolution documentation of varve counts and their composition.

Rapid Evaluation of the Permeability of Organic-Rich Shale Using the 3D Intermingled-Fractal Model

open access: yes, 2018
Shale possesses abundant micro/nanopores. Most micro/nanopores that exist in organic-rich shale are organic pores and mainly developed in organic matter. The pore distribution in matrix space significantly affects gas percolation and diffusion. Pore-size

Production of Shale Oil

open access: yes, 1982
Intensive pre-project feasibility and engineering studies begun in 1979 have produced an outline plan for development of a major project for production of shale oil from private lands in the Piceance Basin in western Colorado.

Widespread complex enameloid microstructure in teeth and rostral denticles of Cretaceous sclerorhynchoid skates (Rajiformes: †Sclerorhynchoidei)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates that the teeth and rostral denticles of an extinct clade of sawfish‐like skates display an extremely derived enameloid microstructure, similar to what is known among sharks. The presence of tooth‐like enameloid microstructure in dermal denticles opens new perspectives about the origins and development of chondrichthyan ...

Processes and Patterns of Dolomite Precipitation in Aptian Pre‐Salt Deposits of Santos Basin, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Aptian pre‐salt lacustrine carbonates represent the most significant oil exploration target along the South Atlantic margin. Dolomitization of the Santos Basin Barra Velha Formation (BVF) is critical for reservoir quality, yet its origin, patterns, and evolution remain poorly understood.

Study on the Influencing Factors of Oil Bearing and Mobility of Shale Reservoirs in the Fourth Member of the Shahejie Formation in the Liaohe Western Depression

open access: yesEnergies
Oil content and the movability of shale oil are important indicators for the evaluation of continental shale oil. In recent years, the sandwiched shale oil in the fourth member of the Shahejie Formation in the Liaohe Western Depression area of the Bohai ...

Coupled plagioclase dissolution and K‐feldspar overgrowth precipitation preserve anomalously high permeability in deeply buried sandstones

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the formation mechanism responsible for anomalously high permeability (AHP) observed in the Eocene sandstones at depths from 3824 to 3832 m in the Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, using helium porosity and permeability measurements, thin section, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe X‐ray ...

Classification and optimization of deep marine shale reservoir facies: A case study of Longmaxi Formation shale in Luzhou block, southern Sichuan Basin

open access: yesYouqicang pingjia yu kaifa
In the exploration and development of marine shale gas in southern China, traditional lithofacies classification does not fully account for the effect of thermal maturity on reservoir space, resulting in suboptimal development of thermally mature marine ...

Early development of anoxia prior to the main euxinic phase of the Jenkyns Event on the margin of the Western Tethys (Sachrang Basin, Eastern Alps)

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the global expansion of oxygen‐depleted marine environments during the Early Toarcian Jenkyns Event (or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event) is primarily inferred from successions in the NW European epicontinental basins, the timing of the expansion of anoxia in Tethyan basins, where hydrography potentially played a minor role, is poorly ...

Lower limit of thermal maturity for the carbonization of organic matter in marine shale and its exploration risk

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2018
: Based on the drilling data of the Silurian Longmaxi Formation in the Sichuan Basin and periphery, SW China, the Ro lower limits and essential features of the carbonization of organic matter in over-high maturity marine shale were examined using laser ...
