Was the volcanism during the Ordovician-Silurian transition in South China actually global in extent? Evidence from the distribution of volcanic ash beds in black shales

Xuebin Du et al.

Summary: The volcanic activity in South China during the Ordovician-Silurian transition was not only part of global volcanic activity but also had unique characteristics, being potentially stronger and occurring slightly later than in other areas. The distribution of volcanic ash beds in South China corresponds to specific stages, indicating a potential influence on the formation of organic-rich shale.

Mineral diagenetic control of expulsion efficiency in organic-rich mudrocks, Bakken Formation (Devonian-Mississippian), Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

Kitty L. Milliken et al.

Summary: The organic-rich mudrocks of the Bakken Formation exhibit significant compositional heterogeneity and expulsion behavior. Higher maturity levels result in a wider range of methane to iso-butane ratio, indicating varying expulsion efficiencies. The cementation status of the mudrocks plays a key role in determining the retention or expulsion of generated hydrocarbons.

Geochemical characteristics of organic carbon and pyrite sulfur in Ordovician-Silurian transition shales in the Yangtze Platform, South China: Implications for the depositional environment

Zhaodong Xi et al.

Summary: This study on the O-S transition sedimentary environments of China's Upper Yangtze Platform reveals the evolution process driven by global climate change and tectonism, impacting organic carbon content and thickness of shale gas targets. The findings indicate the significant role of these factors in shale gas exploration risks in the region.
