Lithofacies types, reservoir characteristics and silica origin of marine shales: A case study of the Wufeng formation–Longmaxi Formation in the Luzhou area, southern Sichuan Basin

Lithofacies types, reservoir characteristics and silica origin of marine shales: A case study of the Wufeng formation–Longmaxi Formation in the Luzhou area, southern Sichuan Basin

Shale, which is a fine-grained sedimentary rock, differs in reservoir quality (RQ) and completion quality (CQ) as the result of variations in its mineral and organic-matter compositions. The RQ and CQ directly affect shale gas exploitation. Therefore, classification of the lithofacies types of shale...
