Geological Characteristics of Deep Shale Gas and Their Effects on Shale Fracability in the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations of the Southern Sichuan Basin, China

The deep shale gas reservoirs of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations in the southern Sichuan Basin have strong heterogeneity and complex geological characteristics, resulting in a poor fracturing effect and low vertical production. Based on whole-rock X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microsc...
