This thesis focuses on the characterization of non-marine source rocks covering a wide range of thermal maturity, from immature microbial gas source rocks to overmature source rocks.In Chapter 2, source rock characterization was performed on 12 gas shale samples collected from Carboniferous Benxi and Permian Shanxi formations from the Yishan Slope of the Ordos Basin, China. These samples were interpreted with regard to mineral composition, thermal maturity, gas storage capacity as well as shale gas potential. The results reveal that the studied shales show low to moderate total organic carbon (TOC) content (0.1 LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)11 DO - DOI:10.18154/RWTH-2022-00077 UR - https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/837789 ER -
