The Es

1L

shale oil reservoir in the Raoyang sag

Jizhong Depression

was studied to measure the reservoir rock

crude oil and formation water compressibilities as well as original oil saturation variation with depth

which enable the determination of the variation of the maximum movable oil reserves in massive and laminated shale core samples from diffe-rent burial depth.These shale core samples were analyzed in terms of organic carbon content (TOC)

Rock-Eval and porosity according to the well logging plot for the studied horizons.The results show that the movable oil reserves of natural depletion and dissolution gas drive increase with increasing burial depth both in massive and laminated shale reservoirs in Es

1L

except for a sweat spot area located at a burial depth of 2 500 m at the immature production stage.Under natural depletion conditions

the movable oil ratio in massive reservoirs is markedly larger than that in laminated reservoirs

while slightly smaller under solution gas drive conditions.The movable reserves in per unit volume of massive shale oil reservoirs are slightly and obviously smaller than those in laminated shale oil reservoirs under natural depletion and dissolution gas drive respectively.The average movable reserves under natural depletion are 0.13×10
