The Damintun (大民屯) depression, a small (about 800 km2 in area) subunit in the Bohai (渤海) Bay basin, hosts nearly 2×108 t of high-wax oils with wax contents up to 60%. The high-wax oils have high consolidation temperatures and viscosities. The high-wax oils were generated from the fourth member of the Shahejie Formation (E
