To improve our understanding of the characteristics of nanopores and their influence on liquid hydrocarbon occurrences in lacustrine shale, we carried out fractal analysis on 21 lacustrine shale cores from the Upper Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation (K2qn) in the Songliao Basin, NE (northeast) China,...
