Geochemical Characteristics of Graptolite Shale in the Pingliang Formation of the Ordos Basin, China: Implications for Organic Matter, Thermal Evolution, and Hydrocarbon Reservoir
Abstract:Graptolite-rich shale is the main layer of shale gas resources in the southern marine sedimentary basin. Recently, shale gas resources were discovered in the Ordovician marine graptolite-rich strata in the Ordos Basin. The graptolite shale in the study area is different from the marine graptolite shale in the Yangtze plate in southern China, and further exploration is needed. This paper presents core samples of the graptolite-rich shale of the Pingliang Formation in the southwest Ordos Basin as research object… Show more
