The potential of shale gas resources in Peninsular Malaysia

Even though the black shales in Peninsular Malaysia covered a quarter of the total surface area and have been overlooked for their economic potential except few workers have evaluated their thermal maturity using rock-eval pyrolysis, vitrinite reflectance analysis and illite crystallinity. According...
