China shale oil, which is preserved in lacustrine shale with strong heterogeneity and relatively low maturity, has been a research hotspot of unconventional resources. However, controlling factors of shale oil enrichment and resource potential evaluation restricted efficient exploration and development of lacustrine shale oil. On the basis of well logging data, TOC content, Rock-Eval pyrolysis values, thermal maturity, 100 oil saturation data, and pressure coefficient, the core observation, X-ray diffraction analysis, physical property analysis, scanning electron microscopy, CT scan, well logging interpretation, and volumetric genesis method depending on three-dimensional geological modeling were used to determine enrichment factors and evaluate the resource potential of Qingshankou Formation shale oil in the Southern Songliao Basin. Shale oil was mainly enriched in the semideep and deep lake shale of K2qn1, with the high capacity of hydrocarbon generation and favorable petrological and mineralogical characteristics, pore space characteristics, and physical properties in the low structural part of the Southern Songliao Basin. The three-dimensional geological resource model of Qingshankou Formation lacustrine shale oil was determined by the key parameters (Ro, TOC, and S 1 ) of shale oil in the favorable zone of the Southern Songliao Basin, northeast China. The geological resource of shale oil, which was calculated by two grid computing methods ( F 1 and F 2 ), was, respectively, 1.713 × 10 12 kg and 1.654 × 10 12 kg. The great shale oil resource indicates a promising future in the exploration and development of Qingshankou Formation shale oil of the Southern Songliao Basin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
