As the fastest growing energy sector globally, shale and shale reservoirs have attracted the
attention of both industry and scholars. However, the strong heterogeneity at different scales …

Matrix-related pore networks in mudrocks are composed of nanometer-to micrometer-size
pores. In shale-gas systems, these pores, along with natural fractures, form the flow-path …

A series of methane (CH4) adsorption experiments on bulk organic rich shales and their
isolated kerogens were conducted at 35° C, 50° C and 65° C and CH4 pressure of up to …

Pore types, pore size, and pore abundance vary systematically across thermal maturity in
the Eagle Ford Formation, Maverick Basin, southern Texas. Scanning electron imaging of 20 …

Research on mudrock attributes has increased dramatically since shale-gas systems have
become commercial hydrocarbon production targets. One of the most significant research …

With Sichuan Basin as focus, this paper introduces the depositional environment,
geochemical and reservoir characteristics, gas concentration and prospective resource …

ABSTRACT Low-maturity Boquillas Formation (Eagle Ford Formation–equivalent) organic-
lean calcareous mudrock samples collected from outcrop were heated in gold tubes under …

The objectives of this paper are to provide basic knowledge on shale resource systems as
well as advancing specific points for their assessment. Shale resource systems that include …
