Features: This book is a summary of the collaboration between the Exploration Company of Daqing Oilfield Company and the Research Institute of Huabei Oilfield Company. The book consists of 10 chapters, with chapters 2-3 introducing the theoretical foundations and methods of source rock evaluation, establishing source rock evaluation standards and hydrocarbon generation and expulsion models for the study area of the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin. It also explains the method of interpreting source rock organic carbon from well logging curves and the restoration of the original organic matter abundance in high mature-overmature source rocks. Chapters 1, 4-10 focus on elaborating the geological overview, typical organic geochemical sections, distribution, organic matter types, thermal evolution, hydrocarbon generation history, oil and gas source comparison, and oil and gas resource assessment of the source rocks in the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin, providing scientific evidence for exploration. The book includes numerous figures and tables, as well as 24 organic microphotographs. It is a valuable reference for petroleum geologists, exploration workers, researchers, and students and faculty of relevant disciplines in universities and colleges.
