Exploration progress and geochemical features of lacustrine shale oils in China

With the consumption of conventional petroleum resources, the exploration and development (E&P) of unconventional hydrocarbons in recent years have supplemented the shortage of petroleum resources to some extent. Shale gas has been successfully exploited from marine strata in southern China; however, E&P of lacustrine shale oil resources with large resource potentials have not reached expectations. This paper reviews the progress of exploration...
