Geochemical and palynological investigation of the Shengli River marine oil shale (China): Implications for paleoenvironment and paleoclimate

Organic geochemistry and petrology of Lower Cretaceous black shales in the Qiangtang Basin, Tibet: Implications for hydrocarbon potential

“…Recently, a set of Lower Cretaceous black shales/oil shales were discovered within the basin and are particularly widespread in the north Fu et al, 2009). Preliminary stratigraphic correlations across the area indicate that the shales are widely distributed, suggesting possibly significant hydrocarbon resource potential.…”

Organofacies and paleoenvironment of lower Carboniferous mudstones (Dishuiquan Formation) in Eastern Junggar, NW China

“…The results of the carbon isotope analysis are reported in the usual δ-notation relative to the Pee Dee Belemnite (PDB) standard, and the analytical precision of this method was better than ±0.2‰. The reproducibility was better than 0.2‰ (Fu et al, 2009;Song et al, 2013).…”

Hydrocarbon generation potential and Miocene–Pliocene paleoenvironments of the Kangal Basin (Central Anatolia, Turkey)

“…Variation in stable carbon isotope ( 13 C) (À26.29‰ to 27.39‰ range) may be explained by extreme salinity, by increase in the amount of bacteria entering the environment, or by increase in algal growth, as shown for the Qiangtang basin (Shengli River area) and Kangal coals (Fu et al, 2009). Coals that resemble the Kangal coals with respect to isotope values are those of the Kalletsberg field (Bechtel et al, 2003).…”
