Some Understandings to Shale Gas Exploration and Development in Fuxian Exploration Area

Abstract:

“Dingbian-Huachi-Fuxian” is a favorable development zone of shale gas shaped in letter “L” in the central and southern Ordos basin, large complete set of black shale was developed there with high organic matter content, moderate maturity and slight structure destruction. In Fuxian exploration area, the economic production of shale gas is still in early stage of exploration, there is not only good oil generating condition, but also shale gas reservoir forming condition; but with poor reservoir properties, very low porosity and permeability, low natural productivity and being difficult to develop. According to the process test in Fuxian block and based on the analysis on the present situation of foreign shale gas development technique, the understandings and suggestions for shale gas exploration and development in Fuxian exploration area are put forward.
