Lacustrine shale oil represents an important opportunity for unconventional petroleum
exploration and has received considerable attention from petroleum geologists. However …

Despite the enormous potential of continental shale oil resources, only recoverable shale oil
is economically valuable. Shale oil development decisions can greatly benefit from an …

The pore structure of shale oil reservoirs is complex, and the microscale and nanoscale
effect is obvious in the development of shale oil reservoirs. Understanding the oil flow …

Abstract The Da'anzhai Member of the Lower Jurassic Ziliu**g Formation of the Sichuan
Basin is one of the most important targets for lacustrine shale oil exploration in China …

Efficient identification of favorable exploration lithofacies with commercial value is of utmost
importance in lacustrine shale petroleum exploration. Shales deposited under different …

Marine–continental transitional shale gas exploration is one of the hottest topics in the
academic and industrial community. Frequent sedimentary environment changes lead to …

Occurrence state of shale oil in saline lacustrine basins is complex, thus restricting the
availability of high-efficiency shale oil exploration and exploitation. To address the …

In this work, the Permian Longtan marine-continental transitional shale in the southeast of
Sichuan Basin was taken as study object. Through petrology and geochemical analysis …

Early Jurassic lacustrine shales in the Sichuan Basin contain significant resources potential
and are one of the most important exploration targets in China. However, studies of these …

Abstract The deeply-buried (> 3500 m) Longmaxi Formation (LMX) shale in the southern
Sichuan Basin, China, has become an attractive target for shale gas exploration owing to its …
