Summary: The tectonic histories of continental rift basins are complex, involving multiple episodes of subsidence, extensional and strike-slip tectonic activities. This study in Liaodong Bay Sub-basin reveals different types of paleo-valleys and the evolution of sedimentary systems. Tectonic activity, paleogeomorphology and climate conditions all played significant roles in influencing sedimentation processes in the basin.

Summary: The oil from well C104 in the Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, shows a complex mixture of maturity levels, with some components appearing immature while overall maturity is high, likely due to multiple episodic charges from different sources.

Summary: The lithofacies assemblages in the lacustrine shale of the Dongying Depression were analyzed based on parasequence division and lithofacies classification. The study found that the composition of the lithofacies was influenced by the complex depositional climate, lake water conditions, and sediment supply. The assemblages showed changes in response to variations in climate, water level, and terrigenous input.

Summary: This study integrates high-resolution 3D seismic data with well-logging data to study the sequence stratigraphy and the depositional system in the Liangjialou area of the Dongying Depression in the Bohai Bay Basin. The study identifies four system tracts and five high-resolution sequences within the third-order LST, and reveals that the formation of the sequences is controlled by both tectonics and dry-wet climatic cycles. The basin morphology and source location influence the lateral variability of the depositional system of the deltaic-lacustrine successions.

Summary: This study focuses on soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDSs) in the lacustrine Dongying Depression, a Paleogene synrift basin located in the southeastern corner of the Bohai Bay Basin, East China. The lower part of the upper 4th member of the Eocene Shahejie Formation (Es4(U)) exhibits nine lithofacies grouped into different facies associations, showing variations in sedimentary environments. The SSDSs observed in the lower Es4(U) are classified into seven categories and are mainly attributed to rift-related seismicity and sediment gravity flows.

Summary: Research on hyperpycnal flows on rift margins reveals the complex interaction of various factors controlled by climate and tectonic movements. The study of classification and dispersal patterns in hyperpycnal flows helps to infer the dominant factors and evolution processes in the development of proximal and distal sublacustrine fans.

Summary: This study investigates the sedimentary mechanisms and depositional architecture of lacustrine turbidite systems under lake-level changes in the Eocene Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, East China. The results highlight the importance of climate forcing in controlling the depositional differences of lacustrine turbidites during regression stages. The study also provides a new predictive model for deep-water hydrocarbon exploration and production in lacustrine basins worldwide.

Summary: The Dongying Depression is an important petrolifeous province with diverse source rocks and complex petroleum distribution patterns. Analysis of 32 crude oils revealed three oil types, with types I and II closely related to discovered source rocks and type III having a completely different origin. The spatial distribution of these oil types was also discussed.

Summary: The sequence architecture and depositional evolution in Cenozoic Liaodong Bay, Bohai Bay Basin are mainly influenced by rifting and lacustrine fluctuations, as confirmed by integrated analysis. Four depositional-geomorphological systems and three composite sequences were identified, each affected by different limiting conditions.

Summary: This study investigates the sources of sediment in the Es3m depositional system in the Dongying Depression through analysis of clastic compositions, heavy mineral assemblages, and clay mineralogy. The results suggest that the sediment was derived from source regions to the northeast and southeast, and converged approximately halfway through the depositional history. These complex deposits are significant targets for oil and gas exploration and development.

Summary: This study comprehensively analyzes different lithofacies of lacustrine shale using various analysis methods, and identifies high-quality sweet spots based on the analysis results. The distribution of sweet spots is then predicted using well log data, and the results suggest that comprehensive research on shale oil and lithofacies prediction can promote sweet spot prediction and enhance shale oil exploration.

Summary: This study characterized the pore structure and wettability of shale samples with carbonate interlayers from the Shahejie Formation in East China. The results showed that the shale had a layered structure and smaller pores compared to marine shale. The shale was lipophilic and moderately hydrophilic at millimeter scales. The NMR analysis revealed that the pore structure and wettability of the shale could be classified into three stages.

Summary: The Carboniferous-Permian period was significant for the formation of coal mines and coaly source rocks globally. In the Huanghua Depression, the Early Permian Shanxi Formation formed several layers of coal and coaly source rocks. However, the development regularity and distribution prediction of high-quality coaly source rocks in this area are still not well understood.
