Formation Mechanisms of Laminae in Continental Shales and Their Controls on Differential Shale Oil Enrichment

Laminae are fundamental structural units of heterogeneity in continental shales and significantly influence organic matter accumulation, hydrocarbon generation and retention, reservoir evolution, fluid redistribution, and fracture propagation. This review critically synthesizes e...

Development and Organic‐Matter Enrichment Mechanisms of Organic‐Rich Shales in the Upper Permian Dalong Formation, Western Hubei Trough, South China

ABSTRACT Organic‐rich shales of the Upper Permian Dalong Formation in the Western Hubei Trough represent a potential successor interval for shale‐gas exploration in the Middle–Upper Yangtze region, yet their depositional evolution and organic‐matter enrichment mechanisms remain i...
