Data for: Organic Geochemical Characteristics and Shale Oil Potential of Middle Eocene Early-mature Shale in Nanpu Sag of the Bohai Bay Basin, eastern China

This research data are the data using in the paper, including three sheets. Sheet 1 shows the data of buried depth and lithological characters of shale sample, the Total Organic Carbon content. Sheet 2 shows the data of organic petrographic examinations and maceral composition chloroform extraction results. Sheet 3 shows the biomarkers and their combination by using gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). It costs 21 months to take samples and conduct geochemical tests. All the expenditure were funded and supported by the National Science and Technology Major Project of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (2016ZX05006-006-001). The PetroChina Jidong Oilfield Company provided great support on the core sampling and experiments in this study.
