Quantifying the influence of thermal maturity on the elastic properties of solid organic matter in shales : An experiental study

The Excel spreadsheet contains five data sheets, covering the basic geological parameters of organic-rich shale, physical property parameters of organic core samples, intrinsic elastic parameters of organic matter, as well as molecular dynamics results and Young's modulus data from micromechanics tests in the literature. The data includes three types of shale: Youganwo Formation shale, Chang 7 Member shale, and Longmaxi Formation shale. There are 13 solid organic core samples in total, corresponding to 2 samples from the Youganwo Formation, 8 samples from the Chang 7 Member, and 3 samples from the Longmaxi Formation.
