This manuscript provides a review of the recent advances in the study of fundamental
processes and geological drivers involved in the lacustrine shale deposition, burial …

Shale diagenesis controls the generation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons
through time and has become a frontier area of study in the fields of sedimentology and …

Unconventional lacustrine shale formations are characterized by strong heterogeneity and
intensive lithological variations in the vertical direction. Nevertheless, most studies focused …

Based on the current research status of shale oil exploration and development at home and
abroad, combing the field observations, dissection of typical shale oil regions, analysis and …

Lacustrine carbonate-rich shales are well developed within the Mesozoic-Cenozoic strata of
the Bohai Bay Basin (BBB) of eastern China and across southeast Asia. Developing an …

Compared with marine facies shale strata, lacustrine shale strata are more complicated in
geological conditions, and thus more difficult to explore and develop. To realize economic …

Pore structure has a significant effect on the occurrence state of shale hydrocarbons and the
hydrocarbon storage capability of shale reservoirs. Consequently, it is quite meaningful to …

As the main factors affecting stable and high production and the production regularity of
lacustrine shale oil are unclear, the theoretical understandings, key exploration and …

Extensive, thick, and heterogeneous lacustrine shales occur globally with some regarded as
source rocks, but which facies are the key contributors remains unclear. Previous studies …

Unconventional shale reservoirs have gained significant importance in the recent years in
terms of reserves and production perspective. The formation evaluation aspect of these …
