Background Technology
[0002] The marine organic-rich shale formations in southern China contain abundant shale gas resources. The long and complex geological evolution history has made preservation conditions a crucial determinant of shale gas enrichment and high production. Evaluation indicators for preservation conditions mainly include regional caprock conditions, target layer depth, structural style, structural location, deformation intensity, degree of fracture / fracture development, uplift and erosion, etc. Exploration practice shows that structural preservation conditions are paramount in shale gas preservation condition research. Currently, shale gas exploration and development have achieved good results, but overall exploration research still needs further development, especially in the study of shale gas preservation conditions.
