••
TL;DR: In this paper, geochemical, petrographical, petrophysical and mineralogical information on the major Proterozoic and Paleozoic gas shales in the Upper Yangtze area, which provides insights on the depositional environment, the thermal maturity of organic matter, shale gas storage capacity and the fracability of these rocks.

••
TL;DR: In this article, the methane adsorption capacity (MAC) of marine-continental transitional facies shales have been identified applying a variety of techniques (e.g., total organic carbon (TOC) content, X-ray diffraction mineralogy, low-pressure CO2 and N2 adaption, and methane analyses) on samples from the Upper Permian Longtan Formation, northern Guizhou Province, Southwest China.

••
TL;DR: In this article, core descriptions, thin section and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations, X-ray diffraction (XRD) mineralogical analysis, and a major, trace, and rare earth element analysis were integrated to document the varying lithofacies, paleo-environmental conditions, and organic matter (OM) accumulation mechanisms for the Upper Permian transitional facies of the Longtan Formation in northern Guizhou Province, southwest China.

••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used mineralogy and organic geochemistry, coupled with major and trace element geochemistry to analyze the paleoenvironment and their effects on organic matter enrichment, and established the accumulation model of organic matter in the Shanxi transitional shale.
