Several issues worthy of attention in current lacustrine shale oil exploration and development

Jin Zhijun et al.

Summary: The article compared the geological and engineering characteristics of shale oil reservoirs between China and the United States, and proposed 8 issues worthy of attention in the exploration and development of lacustrine shale oil in China. In the future, further research is needed on key scientific issues such as terrestrial fine-grained sediment deposition processes, diagenesis-hydrocarbon generation mechanisms, and shale layer fracturing mechanisms.
