Organic geochemistry and oil-generating potential of the Oligocene-Early Miocene Dingqinghu Formation sediments in the Lunpola Basin, Tibet

摘要

The hydrocarbon source rock potential of shales from the Oligocene-Early Miocene Dingqinghu Formation was evaluated using organic geochemistry (Rock-Eval pyrolysis, total organic carbon (TOC) and bitumen extraction) and organic petrology. Forty-one outcrop samples from Lunbori and Jiangria Co shales in the Lunpola Basin were analysed.
