Abstract
Today, the production of hydrocarbons produced from clay strata of varying degrees of consolidation and metamorphization had widely developed in the world. Currently, there are many hypotheses on the formation of reservoirs in industrial oil-bearing clay rocks. The paper analyzes the mindsets on the occurrence of oil-saturated fractured clay reservoirs, presents factors affecting the distribution of radioactive elements, substantiates the mechanism of formation of fractured porosity in clay oil-saturated strata. Due to the lack of a generally accepted concept for the formation of unconventional clay reservoirs, the article proposes a new hypothesis for the formation of fractured reservoirs in these unique sections, based on a critical analysis of existing views.
