Geological characteristics, main challenges and future prospect of shale gas

Caineng Zou, Qun Zhao, Dazhong Dong et al. · 29 Nov 2017

The development of shale gas in the United States has made a breakthrough, profoundly changed the pattern of oil and gas supply. It created the “shale gas revolution” on a global scale. Based on the practice of shale gas development in China and abroad, this paper aims to: (1) Summarize 5 basic characteristics, which are…

The pore size distribution and its relationship with shale gas capacity in organic-rich mudstone of Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations, Sichuan Basin, China

Yu Zhang, Deyong Shao, Jianping Yan et al. · 1 Jun 2016

The pore size distribution for the 23 fresh outcrop shale samples collected from Shuanghe Town and Changning County, as well as the 14 core samples collected from the Qianqian 1 core well in southeast Chongqing, Sichuan Basin were investigated by means of low-pressure nitrogen adsorption. The main factors controlling pore development and gas accumulation in…

Giant discoveries of oil and gas fields in global deepwaters in the past 40 years and the prospect of exploration

Gongcheng Zhang, Hongjun Qu, Guojun Chen et al. · 1 Feb 2019

Deepwater exploration has been developed for more than 40 years since 1975; generally, its exploration history can be divided into the beginning stage (1975–1984), the early stage (1985–1995) and the rapid development stage (1996-now). Currently, deepwater areas have become the hotspot of global oil and gas exploration, and they are also one of the most…

Suggestions on the development strategy of shale gas in China

Dazhong Dong, Caineng Zou, Jinxing Dai et al. · 1 Dec 2016

From the aspects of shale gas resource condition, main exploration and development progress, important breakthrough in key technologies and equipment, this paper systematically summarized and analyzed current situation of shale gas development in China and pointed out five big challenges such as misunderstandings, lower implementation degree and higher economic uncertainty of shale gas resource, and…

Characterization of shale gas enrichment in the Wufeng Formation–Longmaxi Formation in the Sichuan Basin of China and evaluation of its geological construction–transformation evolution sequence

Zhiliang He, Zongquan Hu, Haikuan Nie et al. · 1 Feb 2017

Shale gas in Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation–Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation in the Sichuan Basin is one of the key strata being explored and developed in China, where shale gas reservoirs have been found in Fuling, Weiyuan, Changning and Zhaotong. Characteristics of shale gas enrichment in the formation shown by detailed profiling and analysis are summarized…
