Petroleum generation and expulsion in middle Permian Lucaogou Formation, Jimusar Sag, Junggar Basin, northwest China: assessment of shale oil resource potential

Shale oil exploration of the Permian Lucaogou Formation (P 2 l) has greatly advanced in the Jimusar Sag in the Junggar Basin. However, despite the strong exploration prospects of shale oil resources, the potential of shale oil resources in the Junggar Basin has been insufficiently assessed. This study performs systematical evaluation of P 2 l source rocks in the Jimusar Sag and proposes an improved hydrocarbon generation potential method to...
