Shale oil is an unconventional oil resource that needs to be developed and utilized urgently. However, the Chang 7 shale in the Ordos Basin, as the most typical continental source rock in China, is limited by the study of organic matter (OM) enrichment factors in continental lacustrine facies, and there are still controversies about the controlling factors, which limit the progress of oil and gas exploration. This paper aims to reconstruct the paleoenvironment of Chang 7 shale in the southern margin of Ordos Basin and reveal the controlling factors of organic rich shale by organic and elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thin section observation, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) analysis. The results show that during the deposition period of Chang 7 shale, the climate was warm and humid, the lake water has strong reducing, low salinity and rapid depth changes. Total organic carbon (TOC) is positively correlated with salinity and hydrothermal action and inversely proportional to terrigenous input. The high productivity, low consumption and low dilution result in high enrichment of shale OM in the southern margin of Ordos Basin.
