The big success in marine shale gas exploration and production made China the third
country worldwide to commercialize shale gas development. However, the Upper …

Nanopore structure greatly affects gas adsorption and transport in shales. Such structures in
shale samples from the Lower Cambrian strata of the Sichuan Basin of China have been …

The marine black shale formations on the Upper Yangtze Platform (UYP), South China are
exploration targets for shale gas. Here, we report on the methane sorption capacity of …

Pore structures in shales are a main factor affecting the storage capacity and production
performance of shale gas reservoirs. Taking Longmaxi Shales in the Jiaoshiba area of the …

Lower Paleozoic shale is an important hydrocarbon source rock and natural gas reservoir in
the Upper Yangtze Plate. In this study, compressive strength+ acoustic emission (AE), low …

Gas is stored in shale mainly in free and adsorbed phases. Since a significant amount of gas
in the shale is adsorbed to the organic matter and/or clay minerals, it is possible that gas …

Abstract The Niutitang Shale (Lower Cambrian) is another set of organic-rich shale in
addition to the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Shale in southwest China. In this study, methane …

Shale gas plays an important role in reducing pollution and adjusting the structure of world
energy. Gas content estimation is particularly significant in shale gas resource evaluation …

Abstract In this study, Lower Paleozoic shale samples collected from Lower Cambrian
Niutitang Formation, Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation, and Lower Silurian Longmaxi …

The results of sedimentological, mineralogical, geochemical and petrophysical studies on
the early Cambrian shale in the Upper Yangtze area are summarized to provide insights on …
