Organic rich shales in coal-bearing strata deposited from marine to lacustrine environments are well developed in China. The Paleozoic coal-bearing shales have been significantly altered by a series of tectonic movements. Based on XRD, SEM, MICP, and a nitrogen adsorption experiment and in combination with other parameters in this paper, the mineral composition and pore structure characterization and deformation mechanism of coal-bearing shales were surveyed. The coal-bearing shales in eastern China undergo various types of deformation, including brittle, ductile, and brittle-ductile deformation. In eastern China, the macro pore size of shales grew with increasing quartz content under different types of structural deformation, while the specific surface area decreases as the quartz content increases in different types of structural deformation; With the increasing of clay mineral content, the average pore size and the specific surface area of BET became larger in the various types deformation shale, while the pore volume decreased in the brittle and brittle -ductile deformation shale and increased in the ductile deformation shale. The ductile and brittle-ductile deformation increase the specific surface area, the total pore volume of nano-pores, and the adsorption capacity of liquid nitrogen, and decrease the nano pore diameter. The micropores in the brittle-ductile and ductile shearing of clay minerals may the main factors affecting pore volume and total specific surface area. And it is the mesoporous structure that undergoes evolution in brittle-ductile-deformed shales, leading them to have the maximum pore volume and pore-specific surface area for pore-fracture systems. Brittle shear results in micro-fractures or large pores and thus has an impact on the desorption and percolation capability of shale gas, Ductile deformation increases the specific surface area of shales and enhances their shale adsorption capacity.

Jimei Zhou, Yizhang Liu, Hongling Bu, Peng Liu, Jing Sun, Fei Wu, Jian Hua, Chengshuai Liu

Summary: Scorodite can immobilize most of the arsenic in acidic arsenic-contaminated environments, but reductive dissolution of scorodite may occur during redox changes. This study investigated the transformation of scorodite induced by dissolved Fe(II) under anaerobic conditions and its effects on arsenic behavior. The results showed that the formation of parasymplesite and ferrihydrite-like species during scorodite transformation was controlled by Fe(II)aq concentrations. The newly formed species immobilized dissolved As(V) through adsorption and incorporation. Additionally, As(V) reduction occurred during Fe(II)-induced scorodite transformation.

Zhongliang Ma, Jingqiang Tan, Lunju Zheng, Chunhua Ni, Ruining Hu, Jianfei Ma

Summary: This study reveals the impact of total component fluids from source rock on reservoir transformation during hydrocarbon evolution through simulation experiments. Under closed conditions, the interaction between fluids and feldspar sandstone leads to the alteration of feldspar minerals and the generation of clay minerals, resulting in reservoir tightness. Additionally, a semi-quantitative evaluation method for feldspar dissolution and porosity was established. The geological characteristics of the Yanchang Formation of the Ordos Basin affect the retention effect of diagenetic fluids, and oil and gas exploration should focus on finding sedimentary sand facies bodies favorable for the preservation of primary pores.
