TL;DR: The effect of shale composition and fabric upon pore structure and CH 4 sorption is investigated for potential shale gas reservoirs in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) as mentioned in this paper.
1,749 citations
TL;DR: Hyperpycnites differ from other turbidites because of their well-developed inversely graded facies and intrasequence erosional contacts as discussed by the authors, which can transport a considerable volume of sediment to ocean basins.
845 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that many half-grabens above diapirs form by regional thin-skinned extension, which is supported by dynamic scaled physical modelling, theoretical reasoning and observations from seismic sections.
614 citations
TL;DR: The global kinetic model presented in this article assigns kinetic parameters based on gross depositional environment and stratigraphic age; this is useful in areas of low geochemical knowledge, including exploration frontiers.
570 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of structural heterogeneity in hydrocarbon entrapment, migration and flow is discussed and three common structural heterogeneity types are considered: dilatant fractures (joints, veins, and dikes); contraction/compaction structures (solution seams and compaction bands); and shear fractures (faults).
