From EIA report (2013)....
"The organic-rich shales of Mongolia are thermally immature near the surface, locally forming combustible oil shale, but reach oil maturity (maximum Ro of 0.8 to 1.0%) in deeper areas ranging from 7,000 to 8,000 ft."
"Within the 4,690-mi2 high-graded prospective area of the Unegt and Zuunbayan troughs in the East Gobi Basin, the Lower Cretaceous Tsagaantsav Formation contains an estimated 300 ft (net) of organic-rich lacustrine shale at an average depth of 8,000 ft. TOC averages an estimated 4.0% and is oil-prone (Ro averaging 0.8%). "
Potential resources:
* 55 TCF (gas).
* 85 billion barrels of risked shale gas and shale oil in place,
* Oil gravity averages 28° API
