It clearly distinguishes continental shale oil from marine shale oil and tight oil, highlighting differences in accumulation mechanisms and exploration approaches. Drawing on North American marine shale oil case studies, the handbook provides a reference framework for understanding exploration history, evaluation methods, research strategies an technologies applicable to continental shale oil exploration in China and comparable regions worldwide. It serves as a practical resource for professionals, researchers, graduate students, and policymakers involved in mid- and long-term energy planning and sustainable growth strategies.

It is published as open access, offering free and unlimited online access to readers.
