Abstract:With continuous development of mid-shallow shale gas reservoirs, the focus gradually shifts to deep shale reservoirs (depth>3500 m) that contribute to over 65% of total shale gas resources in the Southern Sichuan Basin. In this area, large-scale and high-intensity fracturing (pumping rate: >20 m3/min; sand loading intensity: 2-3.1 t/m) is the commonly used stimulation approach to achieve larger stimulated reservoir volume (SRV). However, the complex tectonic evolution generates well-developed and… Show more
