Geological characteristics, resource potential, and development direction of shale gas in China
Sinopec (China) · China National Chemical Corporation (China)
Abstract
By reviewing the research progress and exploration practices of shale gas geology in China, analyzing and summarizing the geological characteristics, enrichment laws, and resource potential of different types of shale gas, the following understandings have been obtained: (1) Marine, transitional, and lacustrine shales in China are distributed from old to new in geological age, and the complexity of tectonic reworking and hydrocarbon generation evolution processes gradually decreases. (2) The sedimentary environment controls the type of source-reservoir configuration, which is the basis of “hydrocarbon generation and reservoir formation”. The types of source-reservoir configuration in marine and lacustrine…
