To investigate the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion efficiency from carbonate and argillaceous source rocks, a series of pyrolysis experiments were conducted on two representative samples with Type II kerogen in a semi-open simulation system. The shale sample was obtained from the Upper Cretaceo...
