Abstract: Shale oil is currently a hot and difficult topic in unconventional oil and gas research. The analysis of the types and genesis of fine-grained sedimentary lithofacies is an effective way to study the “source and reservoir” characteristics of shale oil and predict its “sweet spot”. The fine-grained sediments of the Qingshankou Formation in the Songliao basin are widely developed and are effective intervals for shale oil enrichment. Based on four parameters, including organic matter abundance, mineral composition, lithology, and sedimentary structures, six kinds of lithofacies of fine-grained sedimentary rocks of the Qingshankou Formation in the Songliao basin are divided in this paper, as clay shale with high content of organic matter and mud-grade lamination(A), felsic shale with medium-high content of organic matter and fine silt-grade lamination(B), felsic shale with medium-low content of organic matter and coarse silt-grade lamination(C), layered siltstone with low content of organic matter(D), layered ostracoid limestone with low content of organic matter (E) and layered dolomite with low content of organic matter (F). Then, the genesis of different lithofacies types were discussed from the perspectives of hydrodynamics and organic matter enrichment, and corresponding sedimentary models were established. In the static and salty water environment below the base of storm waves with high lake productivity, planktonic algae and clay flocs are uniformly suspended and settled, forming organic-rich clay lamination and lithofacies A is deposited. In a relatively static and brackish water environment below the normal wave base (with local turbulence near the wave base) with high lake productivity, the fine silt particles brought by delta runoff and flood flow continue to move towward the center of the lake basin, forming a felsic lamination through uniform suspension and sedimentation, and a clay lamination is formed during the period of intermittent suspension and sedimentation, and lithofacies B is deposited. Below the normal wave base, the flood which carries silt-grade particles are transported to the outer front of delta along the underwater distributary channel, and enter the front delta in the form of stable turbidity current. As the flow velocity gradually decreases, it forms a coarse to fine silt lamination, clay lamination is formed during the period of intermittent suspension and sedimentation, and lithofacies C is deposited. Below the normal wave base, the early sediments of the delta front, under the action of paroxysmal turbidity currents, collapse into deeper water, forming lithofacies D and E. Between the normal wave base and storm wave base, lithofacies F is formed in saline water environment under a relatively dry climate.
