As an important type of “conventional–unconventional orderly accumulation”, shale oil is mature stored in organic-rich shales with nano-scale pores. This paper analyzes and summarizes elementary petroleum geological issues concerning continental China, including sedimentary environment, reservoir space, geochemical features accumulation mechanism. Mainly deposited semi-deep to deep lake rich organic matter usually coexists other lithologies laminated texture, micron pores microfractures...

Continental shale oil has two types, low-medium maturity and medium-high maturity, they are different in terms of resource environment, potential, production methods technologies, industrial evaluation criteria. In addition, continental is from the tight United States. Scientific definition connotations these types great significance for promoting exploration “outside source” into “inside making it a strategic replacement future. The oils made clear this study. former refers to liquid...

Petroleum geology is evolving into two branches, conventional petroleum and unconventional geology, with the latter becoming a new theoretical frontier in industry. The core of hydrocarbon geological study based on identifying match between source rock, reservoir, caprock, migration, trap, preservation timing; evaluates if oil gas part continuous accumulation, where stress placed evaluation "lithology, physical properties, brittleness, oiliness, rock features, anisotropy" their...

Global petroleum exploration is currently undergoing a strategic shift from conventional to unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Unconventional hydrocarbons in tight reservoirs show characteristics distinct those of sources hosted structural and stratigraphic traps. The characteristic features include the following: source reservoir coexist; porosity permeability are ultra-low; nano-pore throats widely distributed; hydrocarbon-bearing bodies continuously there no obvious trap boundary;...

Continental shale oil is a general term for liquid hydrocarbons and many kinds of organic matter in continental organic-rich series with vitrinite reflectance more than 0.5% at buried depth 300 m, an important type source-rock gas. Based on the evolution model generation expulsion controlled by maturity, divided into two types: medium-high maturity medium-low maturity.

Based on the latest global conventional-unconventional petroleum development situation and conclusion of geology theory technology innovation in recent 10 years, connotation conventional unconventional "orderly accumulation" is formulated. This concept indicates that, occurs hydrocarbon supply direction petroleum, may appear outer space petroleum. Proper evaluation methods engineering are important to push co-development, finding thought from outer-source into inner-source. Unconventional...

In-situ conversion processing (ICP) of shale oil underground at the depth ranging from 300 m to 3 000 is a physical and chemical process caused by using horizontal drilling electric heating technology, which converts heavy oil, bitumen various organic matter into light gas in large scale, can be called “underground refinery”. ICP has several advantages as CO2 capture, recoverable resource potential quality hydrocarbon output. Based on geothermal evolution mechanism materials established...

The new century has witnessed a strategic breakthrough in unconventional oil & gas. Hydrocarbon accumulated micro‐/nano‐scale pore throat shale systems become an important domain that could replace current gas resources. Unconventional plays increasingly role our energy demand. Tight gas, CBM, heavy and asphaltic sand have served as key of exploration development, with tight becoming ‘bright spot’ ‘hotspot’ domain.
