Abstract:Weibei sag is the secondary sag basin of Changwei depression. It is also the peripheral conventional oil and gas exploration area of Shengli oilfield. Thick dark shales developed in the second section of Kongdian formation in Weibei sag. They are not only the source rock of conventional oil and gas, but also the most favorable strata for forming shale and gas. In this paper, by using the datas of Canyijing, combining with the previous datas, lithological characteristics, organic geochemical characteristics, mineral composition, gas-bearing characteristics of clay shale have been analyzed. It is regarded that there is prospecting and developing potentiality of shale gas resource in the lower part of upper sub-formation and the lower part of middle sub-formation of the second section of Kongdian formation.
