  • Based on bore hole data, the volumetric method to calculate the resources of oil shale in the 1st member of Qingshankou formation and the 1st2nd member of Nenjiang formation in Songliao Basin were adopted. A reasonable area dividing scheme was established taking the 2nd member of Nenjiang formation as criterion when the area distribution of the three sets of oil shale was determined. Subblock dividing and subblock area calculation were proceeded on the three researching formations using geographic information system ArcGIS and the actual area of each subblock was 537 km2. 1st member of Qingshankou formation, 1st member of Nenjiang formation and 2nd member of Nenjiang formation were divided into 147 subblocks, 197 subblocks and 246 subblocks respectively. According to the theory of trend surface method, oil shale thickness tendency value equation was obtained using algorithm software MATLAB where the spatial distribution coordinates were considered as independent variable and the relative thickness tendency values as dependent variable. Further more, this paper did fitting analysis on oil shale thickness spatial distribution, and the fitting results were satisfied which ensured the accuracy of calculation. The oil shale resources of the three formations were obtained after the determination of the area and thickness of those subblocks. The results are 1 272 400 million tons, 887 310 million tons and 987 240 million tons for 1st member of Qingshankou formation, 1st member of Nenjiang formation and 2nd member of Nenjiang formation respectively.
