The granite dike has strong effect on mineralogy, organic geochemistry and pore structure of black shales.
There is no evident relationship between TOC content and the distance to the dike.
Contact metamorphism formed macropores and microcracks in the shales near the contact boundary.
Intrusion of granites will cause a fast escape of shale gas in shales within the contact aureole.
The results provide new insights on shale gas preservation in basins with magmatic activities.
