The 4th International Symposium on Shale Oil & Gas Exploration and Development took place on November 28-30, 2020 in Changchun, Jilin Province. The conference was hosted by Jilin University and undertaken by Construction Engineering College of Jilin University, Collaborative Innovation Center for Shale Oil and Gas Exploration and Development, National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory of In-situ Conversion, Drilling and Exploitation Technology for Oil Shale and the Metallogenic Theory and Key Technology Brunch of State Center for Research. Aiming to share and exchange new opinions and results and to explore the cooperative research in the field of oil shale, shale oil and gas. This conference is going to gather the researchers in the field of oil shale, shale oil and gas exploration and development technology around the world.
The theme of this symposium focused on the current situation and development of oil shale, shale oil and gas exploration and development. Experts and scholars from several countries were invited to introduce their latest research results, make an extensive exchange on the exploitation technology of oil shale, shale oil and gas in China and have discussion about the hot topics of the symposium.
Professor Liu Rong and Associate Professor Sun Pingchang, from College of Earth Sciences, Jilin University, gave their academic reports on November 30th,2020, which focused on “Coupling of oil shale enrichment and geological events” and “Formation environment and metallogenic mechanism of oil shale in continental basins of China”.
The conference increased the international influences of Jilin University in the field of shale oil and gas exploration and development technology, promoted the Double First-class discipline development of Geological Resources and Geological Engineering. It was also significant for experts and scholars from all over the world to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the field of shale oil and gas research.
