The Mohe Formation is one of the important source rocks for oil-gas and gas hydrates in the Mohe Basin. In this paper, mudstone from cores of the M-1 and M-3 wells and argillite from cores of the MK-2 well of the Mohe Basin were studied. The depositional environment, organic matter source, thermal m...
