Petrology, Mineralogy, and Geochemical Characterization of Paleogene Oil Shales of the Youganwo Formation in the Maoming Basin, Southern China: Implication for Source Rock Evaluation, Provenance, Paleoweathering and Maturity

Petrology, Mineralogy, and Geochemical Characterization of Paleogene Oil Shales of the Youganwo Formation in the Maoming Basin, Southern China: Implication for Source Rock Evaluation, Provenance, Paleoweathering and Maturity

Oil shale is a crucial unconventional energy source to supplement conventional oil and gas. The oil shale in the Maoming Basin of China has excellent resource potential. In this study, through systematic geochemical testing, the industrial quality and geochemical characteristics of oil shale are rev...
