Shale gas potential of the major marine shale formations in the Upper Yangtze Platform, South China, Part II: Methane sorption capacity

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of TOC content, thermal maturity, clay minerals, moisture content, pore properties, particle size, temperature, and pressure on methane sorption capacity were analyzed.

Merging sequence stratigraphy and geomechanics for unconventional gas shales

TL;DR: The recent revelation of vast global quantities of potentially gas-and oil-productive shales has paved the way for rapid advancements in understanding their geological properties, many of which affect their geomechanical properties, and ultimately reservoir operations and performance as discussed by the authors.

Methodology of organic-rich shale lithofacies identification and prediction: A case study from Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian basin

TL;DR: A 3D shale lithofacies model constructed using mineral composition, rock geomechanical properties and TOC content can be applied to optimize the design of horizontal well trajectories and stimulation strategies to build deterministic and stochastic 3D lith ofacies models.
