Lithofacies palaeogeography, depositional model and shale gas potential evaluation in the O3-S1 Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation in the Sichuan Basin, China

ABSTRACT: The black shales of Wufeng and Longmaxi Formation (Late Ordovician-Early Silurian period) in Sichuan Basin are the main strata for marine shale gas exploration, which have a yearly shale gas production of 228×108 m3 and cumulative shale gas production of 919×108 m3. According to the lithol...
