The continental shale oil in the Da’anzhai section of the Ziliujing Formation in the Sichuan Basin has great exploration and development prospects. The sedimentary facies are diverse, the lithology is complex, and the vertical changes are fast. The understanding of the lithological differentiation combination mode and reservoir characteristics is unclear, which restricts the optimal selection of favorable shale oil reservoirs in the Da’anzhai section. Based on observations, thin section analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), vitrinite reflectance Ro testing, total organic carbon (TOC) content testing, physical property testing, rock pyrolysis, fluorescence analysis, and other experiments of four actual drilling cores in the central Sichuan Basin. By comprehensively analyzing mineral composition characteristics, as well as considering the content, occurrence, thickness of the shell layer, and its superimposed relationship with shale, seven lithological combination models for the Da’anzhai member in the central Sichuan basin were established (pure shale type, shale interbedded with floating shell limestone type, shale interbedded with millimeter scale shell limestone type, shale interbedded with centimeter scale shell limestone type, shale interbedded with centimeter scale shell limestone type, shale interbedded with shell limestone type, and pure shell limestone type). By integrating reservoir characteristic parameters such as TOC content, physical properties, oil content, and brittleness index, the reservoir characteristics of different lithological combinations were clarified. Based on the exploration and development practices of the Da’anzhai section and reservoir characteristics, a classification evaluation standard for reservoirs was established. It is believed that the lithological combination of shale interbedded with millimeter scale shell limestone and shale interbedded with centimeter scale shell limestone is the key layer for exploration and development, which has most favorable source reservoir combination, best physical properties, the highest oil saturation index(OSI) index, strong mobility, and good brittleness. The thick dark shale interval has the highest TOC content, good physical and oil properties, which is a potential interval for further exploration.
