The invention discloses a method for rapidly evaluating shale oil resources. The method comprises the following steps of A, establishing a evolutionary graph of the generating, discharging and remaining of hydrocarbon source rock by a kerogen swelling experiment simulating method, and calculating the sinking total oil generating amount, the hydrocarbon remaining amount and the hydrocarbon discharging amount; B, selecting the shale area, the effective thickness, the density, a pyrolysis S1, a light hydrocarbon recovery coefficient, a shale oil adsorption coefficient and other effective parameters, and calculating the amount of the shale oil resource by adopting a mass oil content method. The invention aims to provide the method for rapidly evaluating shale oil resources. The method is suitable for calculation of the amount of the shale oil, and is used for determining the distribution rule of the shale oil, determining the distribution range of the shale oil, providing a support for improving the exploration effect, and providing a feasible technical method for evaluating the shale oil resource more objectively and accurately, and particularly evaluating a beneficiation region of the shale oil and determining beneficial geological conditions of the beneficiation region.
