Abstract:Samples of Bowland Shale and equivalents in Ireland, representing a range of thermal maturities from oil window to gas window, contain trace elements distributed through multiple residences. The trace element distribution reflects the depositional environment, and influences subsequent element release. Measurements of Se, Cu, As, U and Mo indicate variable retention in loosely-bound and strongly-bound forms. The trace elements are especially associated with diagenetic pyrite. Shales from Ireland, at higher the… Show more
