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.

Shale Gas Research For Europe [PDF]
Several projects initiated and coordinated by the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam ‐ GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences focus on shale gas and may serve as entry points for the understanding of general features for efficient shale-gas production, not only in Europe.

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 ...

Water imbibition of shale and its potential influence on shale gas recovery-a comparative study of marine and continental shale formations [PDF]
A large volume of fracturing fluid is pumped into a well to stimulate shale formation. The water is imbibed into the reservoir during this procedure. The effect of the imbibed water on gas recovery is still in debate.

The Carboniferous Bowland Shale gas study: geology and resource estimation [PDF]
The assessment of shale gas resources in the UK is in its infancy. This report summarises the background geological knowledge and methodology which has enabled a preliminary in-place gas resource calculation to be undertaken for the Bowland-Hodder ...

Nanoporous Gas Transport in Shale Gas Reservoirs
In more conventional gas reservoirs, gas flow is simple, uncomplicated, and described by simple flux pressure drop expressions. In shale reservoirs however, this relationship takes the form of a more complex and multiscale flow process involving special flow mechanisms.
