Second, data volumes with high precision of the elastic parameters were obtained from pre-stack simultaneous inversion. The horizontal distribution of key parameters for shale gas evaluation were calculated based on the results of rock physics analysis. Then, the fuzzy evaluation equation was established by fuzzy optimization method with test and
China Shale
China is one of the four countries producing shale gas and oil in a commercial way, It has shale oil reserves of 32 billions barrels and shale gas reserves of 1115 trillion cubic feet. In China Shale the main basins with shale formations are: Songliao Basin, Sichuan Basin, Yangtze Platform, Jianghan Basin, Greater Subei, Tarim Basin and Junggar Basin. Now the shale activity is concentrate in the Sichuan Basin.
Geological characteristics, main challenges and future prospect of shale gas

It includes non-marine shale gas potential, core technology and equipment for resource deep than 3500 m, complex surface “factory mode” production, human geography and other non-technical factors. (4) Process economic evaluation under the conditions of government financial subsidies. China's shale gas project FIRR is about 8.0%–9.0%. Considering the global shale

Pore evolution characteristic of shale in the Longmaxi Formation, Sichuan Basin
Through study on effect of total organic carbon (TOC), organic matter maturity (Ro), diagenesis and tectonism on shale porosity, influence of TOC on porosity could be divided into four stages: the rapid increasing stage (TOC from 0 to 2%), the slow decreasing stage (TOC from 2 to 3%), the rapid
Micron-to nano-pore characteristics in the shale of Longmaxi Formation, southeast Sichuan Basin
Effects of stress-dependent permeability on well performance of ultra-low permeability oil reservoir in China
Several analytical simulations under the conditions of constant wellbore flowing pressure were performed to quantitatively assess the impact of stress sensitivity on single well performance. It is demonstrated that despite the stress-dependent permeability can have an adverse impact on production rate and recovery volume, it may be favorable for water
Isothermal Adsorption and Desorption Properties of Marine Shales on Longmaxi Shale in South China
And adsorption potential theory was used to explain the adsorption and desorption process. According to the results, the shale samples have a high level of organic carbon content with the same organic matter type II1 and high degree of maturation. The volume of adsorption increases rapidly and slows down to
Recommendations on Improving Fiscal and Taxation Policies of Shale Gas Industry in China
Therefore, this paper introduces the development situation of shale gas industry in our country and the advantages and disadvantages of the development and utilization of shale gas, and finally discusses the fiscal and taxation policy suitable for the development of shale gas industry in our country by drawing on the
Development of gas-tight threads based on API round threads and its evaluation
It is shown that the gas sealing performance of this gas-tight thread is good, and the results of ultimate internal pressure cycling and the thermal cycling test on sealing pipe ends meet the requirements of ISO 13679. Besides, its internal pressure strength, tensile strength and collapse strength are much higher
An optimal design of network-fracture acidification for ultra-deep gas wells in the Lower Permian strata of the western Sichuan Basin
Accordingly, a skin factor calculation model for network-fracture acidification was developed. It is indicated that when the acid pumping rate is 5.0 m3/min, all natural fractures around Well S1-1 can be opened, regardless of their dip angles. Besides, the advantage of high-rate acid injection emerges gradually when the injected acid
A numerical study on horizontal hydraulic fracture
The simulated bottom-hole pressure evolution is consistent with the data measured from the field. The configurations of the fracture and porous pressure distributions in the fracture are presented and discussed. Introduction Hydraulic fracturing has been one of the most frequently implemented techniques for stimulating production of oil/gas reservoirs for several decades (Sneddon

Fault reactivation and earthquakes with magnitudes of up to Mw4.7 induced by shale-gas hydraulic fracturing in Sichuan Basin, China
The geologic reasons why earthquake magnitudes associated with hydraulic fracturing operations are so high in this area are discussed. Because hydraulic fracturing operations are on the rise in the Sichuan Basin, it would be beneficial for the geoscience, gas operator, regulator, and academic communities to work collectively to elucidate the
Geometric Heterogeneity of Continental Shale in the Yanchang Formation, Southern Ordos Basin, China
These measurement tools correspond to the meter scale, decimeter scale, centimeter scale, millimeter scale and ten-micrometer scale, respectively, with measured thicknesses of 2.26 m, 2.09 dm, 1.70 cm, 1.48 mm and 11.70 μm, respectively. Fractal theory was used to analyze the power exponent distribution of the lamina thickness, with a resulting fractal dimension of 1.06.
