Abstract: In recent years, with the rapid growth of shale oil and gas production in the United States, China’s unconventional oil and gas exploration and development has also made important progress, especially the production of unconventional natural gas such as tight gas, shale gas and coalbed methane, which has exceeded 1/3 of total natural gas production. Among them, shale gas has the most development potential and it will make the main contribution for the growth of natural gas production in the next 5-10 years. Tight gas and coalbed methane will also develop steadily; and tight oil exploration and development has already taken shape. The shale oil and oil shale resources have great potential and they are important backup replacement resources. However, China lacks of enough understanding of the important role of shale oil and oil shale (source rock) and their exploration and development potential, making source rock exploration stay in the early stage of exploration. It is suggested to increase the resource potential evaluation for the key basins (layers) such as the Qingshankou Formation- Nenjiang Formation in the Songliao Basin and the Ordos Basin, and to intensify their exploration and development experiments research for the early accomplishment of Chinese “Shale Revolution”, and make unconventional oil and gas become important replacement for the growth of oil and gas reserves and production of China.

摘要： 近年来随着美国页岩油气产量的快速增长，我国非常规油气勘探开发也取得了重要进展，尤其是致密气、 页岩气和煤层气等非常规天然气产量规模已超过天然气总产量的1/3，其中页岩气是我国近期非常规发展潜力最大的 矿种，也是今后5 ～ 10 年天然气产量增长的主要来源，致密气及煤层气也将得到稳步发展；致密油勘探开发初具规模， 页岩油和油页岩油资源潜力大，是重要的后备接替资源。但我国对页岩油和油页岩（烃源岩）的重要地位和勘探开发 潜力认识不够，使源岩勘探一直处于勘探初期认识阶段。建议加大松辽盆地青山口组—嫩江组、鄂尔多斯盆地三叠系 等重点盆地（层系）的资源潜力评价和勘探开发试验攻关力度，尽早实现中国版的“页岩革命”目标，使其成为我国 油气增储上产的重要接替领域。
