The physics of how organic pores change under high thermal evolution conditions in overmature marine shale gas formations remains unclear. In this study, systematic analyses at the macro- to micro-scales were performed to reveal the effects of the se...
Exploring the relationship between formation pressure and shale pore evolution is helpful for the enrichment and development of marine shale gas accumulation theory. The thermal evolution experiment was carried out on the Xiamaling Formation (Pr3x) l...
The transformation of smectite to illite documents multi-scale water–rock–hydrocarbon interaction dynamics. Current studies predominantly emphasize the influence of inorganic systems on this process, while overlooking the dynamic regulati...
The carbon isotopic behavior of hopane compounds during thermal maturation remains ambiguous due to limitations in current detection techniques. In this study, a low-maturity lacustrine shale sample was pyrolyzed in a hydrous semi-open pyrolysis syst...
In situ shale or kerogen oil production is a promising approach to developing vast oil shale resources and increasing world energy demand. In this study, cyclic subcritical water injection in oil shale was investigated in laboratory conditions as a m...
Previous studies have mainly focused on the source rocks of the 7th Member of Yanchang Formation (Chang 7 Member) in the Ordos Basin, with very few studies focusing on the extracts from the source rocks. These extracts have important guiding signific...
Since the discovery of the vast Jimusaer shale oilfield in the southeastern Junggar Basin in 2012, there has been considerable interest in neighboring areas around Bogeda Mountain that have shale oil potential. The primary productive interval in the...
