Lower Cambrian Organic-Rich Shales in Southern China: A Review of Gas-Bearing Property, Pore Structure, and Their Controlling Factors by Gang Li, Ping Gao, Xianming Xiao, Chengang Lu, Yue Feng

“…Higher maturity, lower porosity, and less-no organic pores are suggested to be responsible for low gas contents and/or the predominate of N2 in shale gas reservoirs. Strong tectonic deformation is an important factor leading to the massive gas loss from shale reservoirs, thus resulting in no gas or only a small amount of N2 in the Lower Cambrian shales. …”
