Description
Summary:Analysis of the abundance and type of organic matter of oil shale in the sequence stratigraphic framework of the Middle Permian Lucaogou Formation at the northern foot of Bogda Mountain, NW China, was carried out. The Lucaogou Formation consists of two well-completed 3rd order oil shale sequences, sequence 1 and sequence 2. With respect to organic matter abundance, in each sequence, the TOC of oil shale in the lowstand systems tract (LST) and the regressive systems tract (RST) is of medium abundance. The TOC of oil shale in the transgressive systems tract (TST) is of higher abundance, and in the highstand systems tract (HST), of highest. In regard to type, the organic matter of oil shale in the LST of either sequence is mainly of type II2 or type II1. In TST and HST, it is predominantly of type II1 and type I, respectively, and in RST, of type II1 or II2.
