Abstract
In recent years, shale oil has gradually become the focus of oil exploration. The source rocks of Lucaogou Formation in the east of Jimusaer Sag of the Junggar basin have great shale oil potential. However, there is still much controversy regarding the sedimentary environment of the source rocks which restrict shale oil exploration. In order to address this problem, 45 mudstone samples of Jx-1 well are selected for testing and analysis. The results show that the Permian Lucaogou Formation in the Jimusaer Sag is developed with high quality source rocks, and the organic matter type is mainly type II, and the source rocks are in mature stage. Both higher terrestrial plants and aquatic algae are important sources of organic matter in source rocks, but the source of organic matter is still dominated by lower aquatic organisms. The source rocks of Lucaogou Formation are mainly deposited in reducing environment, and the water salinity is high, which is conducive to the preservation of organic matter.
