Forecast of lacustrine shale lithofacies types in continental rift basins based on machine learning: A case study from Dongying Sag, Jiyang Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China
Abstract:Lacustrine shale in continental rift basins is complex and features a variety of mineralogical compositions and microstructures. The lithofacies type of shale, mainly determined by mineralogical composition and microstructure, is the most critical factor controlling the quality of shale oil reservoirs. Conventional geophysical methods cannot accurately forecast lacustrine shale lithofacies types, thus restricting the progress of shale oil exploration and development. Considering the lacustrine shale in the upp… Show more
