Frontiers | Geological and Geochemical Characteristics of the Terrestrial Lower Jurassic Shale in Tarim Basin and its Favorable Exploration Areas
Large amounts of conventional gas resources originated from terrestrial Lower Jurassic shale were discovered in Tarim Basin, indicating promising exploration prospects for shale gas resources, whereas limited understandings were obtained on the geological and geochemical characteristics of the Lower Jurassic shale In this study, based on cores of exploration wells and field outcrops, TOC pyrolysis, microscopic composition, organic elements, vitrinite reflectance, X-ray diffraction and methane isothermal adsorption experiment were carried out on Lower Jurassic shale in Tarim Basin. The results ...
