Abstract: Recovery efficiency of shale oil is low due to high density,high viscosity,low porosity and low permeability,and it is necessary to evaluate the resource potential of the enriched resources that are high in resource abundance and low in exploitation difficulty.TOC over 4% is taken as the criteria for classification of enriched shale oil resource according to the triple-division relationship between S1 and TOC.Because of the light and heavy hydrocarbon loss in S1,S1 should be corrected before it is used to evaluate the resource potential.Comparative analysis shows that S2 decreases when the shale sample is extracted by chloroform,indicating that there are some residual hydrocarbons in S2 but they have been eliminated by extracting process.The distinction ΔS2 is used to correct the heavy hydrocarbon of S1,and the correction coefficient increases with the increase of maturity.Assuming that the light and heavy hydrocarbons expel at the same rate during the hydrocarbon expulsion process,the ratio calculated with hydrocarbon generation kinetics theory is used to correct the light hydrocarbon of S1.With the increase of maturity,the correction coefficient of light hydrocarbons first decreases and then increases.On the basis of evaluating the organic heterogeneity by logging,the enriched shale oil resource is classified,and its potential is evaluated by using the corrected S1.The potential enriched shale oil resource is about 2.2×108 t in E2s4(2) sub-member in the Damintun Sag,Liaohe Depression,Bohai Bay Basin.
