Nonisothermal, confined pyrolysis was applied to a mature shale sample from the Ordovician Salgan Formation in Tarim Basin, northwest China. Experiments were conducted using gold-tubes with added water at a very slow heating rate (2 °C/h) and end temperatures between 336 and 600 °C. To investigate the influence of inorganically bound sulfur on the generation of gases and to consider the geological occurrence of sulfur-containing minerals, such as prevalent pyrite in shales, the experiments were carried out with and without admixtures of MgSO4, CaSO4, and pyrite. High amounts of methane along with lower amounts of wet gases were formed from highly mature shale without minerals added, demonstrating a huge late gas generation potential at post peak-oil window maturities. In the experiments with added sulfates and pyrite, all organic gases were consumed in varying proportions, resulting in different chemical and stable carbon isotopic compositions. Pyrite treatment affects wet gas (C2–C5) evolution directly, ...
