The Sedimentary Geochemical Characteristics and Geological Significance of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation Accumulation of Organic Matter Black Shale on the Southeastern Sichuan Basi... by Bin Wu

“…At present, the understanding of the sedimentary paleoenvironment and organic matter enrichment law of black shale in the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation is still insufficient. This time, we investigated the total organic carbon (TOC) content, X-ray diffraction mineralogical composition, and the major and trace element abundances of the newly recovered cores of three shale gas exploration wells in Changning, Qianjiang, and Xiushan areas which were, respectively, selected to discuss and compare the varying paleoenvironmental conditions and the factors that control organic matter accumulation, such as terrigenous input, redox conditions, primary productivity, and the degree of water retention in the basin. …”
