Abstract��
The unconventional oil and gas resources presented in oil shales have meant these potential sources of hydrocarbons��which has become a research focus�� China contains abundant oil shale resources��ranking fourth in the world��with ca�� 7 254.48 ×10 8 t within 24 provinces��including 48 basins and 81 oil shale deposits�� A- bout 48% of the total oil shale resources are concentrated in the eastern resource region��with a further 22% in the central resource region�� 65% of the total quantity of oil shale resources is present at depths of 0- 500 m�� with 17% of the total resources being defined as high- quality oil shales yielding more than 10% oil by weight�� Chinese oil shale resources are generally hosted by Mesozoic sediments that account for 78% of the total resources�� In terms of the geographical distribution of these resources��some 45% are located in plain regions�� and different oil shale basins have various characteristics�� The oil shale resources in China represent a highly prospective future source of hydrocarbons�� These resources having potential use not only in power generation and oil refining but also in agriculture��metal and chemical productions��and environmental protection�� |
