Liang Xinping is dedicated to research on the formation, evolution, and enrichment mechanisms of marine and continental shale oil in both China and Russia. In recent years, her research has specifically focused on investigating the role of volcanic activity in the formation of shale oil sources and reservoirs, as well as exploring in-situ extraction mechanisms of shale oil under supercritical water conditions. Additionally, she collaborates with team leaders in independently constructing experimental platforms, designing research plans, and developing equipment. Liang has authored over 30 papers in Chinese, English, and Russian, co-authored two books, and led a general project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, a project funded by the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, and five oilfield-related research projects. Her report was recognized as an "Excellent Report" at the 9th Annual Meeting of the Chinese Association of Petroleum Geologists. She has also received funding support for attending international conferences and conducting research from organizations such as the International Association of Sedimentologists.

As a member of international geological associations like IAS, EGU, and EAG, she also holds the positions of Deputy Director of the Office for Large Shale Oil Projects under the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Deputy Director of the General Office of the State Key Laboratory of Shale Oil and Gas Enrichment Mechanisms and Effective Development. Moreover, she contributes as a reviewer for journals such as MPG, JAES, Energy & Fuel, and Oil and Gas Geology. With extensive collaboration with Russian, European, American, and domestic  universities  and  research  institutions,  she  is  committed  to  promoting  international  academic exchanges, advancing scientific breakthroughs, and facilitating project implementation in her domain.
