Molecular and Carbon Isotopic Variation during Canister Degassing of Terrestrial Shale: A Case Study from Xiahuayuan Formation in the Xuanhua Basin, North China
Abstract:Molecular and carbon isotopic variation during degassing process have been observed in marine shale reservoirs, however, this behavior remains largely unexplored in terrestrial shale reservoirs. Here, we investigate the rock parameters of five terrestrial shale core samples from the Xiahuayuan Formation and the geochemical parameters of thirty natural gas samples collected during field canister degassing experiments. Based on these new data, the gas composition and carbon isotope variation during canister dega… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
