Abstract:Through analysis on formation conditions of dark shale thickness, organic matter type, abundance and maturity of shale and gas in the second section of Kongdian formation in Weibei depression, it is showed that shale in the second Kongdian formation in Weibei depression was formed in the shallow lacustrine facies deep lacustrine environment. The thickness of dark shale is large, organic matter content and maturity are high, and buried in shallow part. It has shale and gas formation conditions and is favourable for the formation of shale gas exploration in the Shandong province.
