Differential Thermal Evolution between Oil and Source Rocks in the Carboniferous Shale Reservoir of the Qaidam Basin, NW China
Shale oil and source rock samples of the Carboniferous Keluke Formation from well Chaiye 2 in the Delingha Depression were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Source rocks were highly mature at the gas generation stage with vitrinite reflectance (Ro) of 1.45–1.88%. However, the oil pro...
