Geochemical characterization of Lucaogou Formation and its correlation of tight oil accumulation in Jimsar Sag of Junggar Basin, Northwestern China.

With the constant consumption of conventional oil and gas resources, unconventional oil and gas resources with great resource potential such as tight oil have gradually been valued and become the new exploration area. Jimsar Sag is the key tight oil exploration and development block in Junggar Basin of Northwestern China. Based on the data sets of geology, oil production test, logging, rock thin section, and geochemistry of Permian Lucaogou Formation (LCG), we studied the geochemical characteristics of hydrocarbon source rocks and their relation to the tight oil accumulation.
