摘要 | In southern Sichuan Basin, the main production layers are characterized by deeply buried, high stress difference, and complex structural conditions. The Luzhou area is far from large faults, and natural fractures are greatly important for shale gas storage and production. Multi-scale natural fractures control the migration, enrichment, and preservation conditions of shale gas, and facilitate the formation of complex fracture network under the action of hydraulic fracturing. In this study, based on the outcrops, drilling cores, geochemical tests, thin section, and other experiments, the development characteristics of the Wufeng-Longmaxi shale in the Luzhou block, Southern China, are statistically analyzed, and the controlling factors (e.g., tectonic factors, organic matter, mineral components, mechanical properties) are discussed in details. Fractures observed in the outcrops are mainly regional fractures with two groups of orthogonal joints. Similarly, fractures observed in the core are also mainly joints fractures perpendicular to the laminae with three typical features (high-density, high-angle, and unfilled). In detail, steeply dipping fractures (75-90??) account for 78.1% of all fractures, with 85.1% being unfilled, 78.1% having a longitudinal extension less than 4 cm, and 65.1% having a spacing less than 2 cm. In brief, there exist cross-scale similarity among outcrops, cores, and microscopic thin sections, which is critical to the shale gas preservation conditions. Based on this understanding, further research is conducted on the relationship between the fracture density and gas content, which shows that (i) when the fracture density is less than 122 number/m, TOC content and fracture density together positively dominate gas content; (ii) when fracture density exceeds 122 number/m, gas content appears negative with fracture density, and TOC content is not the critical factor anymore. The above study establishes quantitative limits for shale gas preservation in the study block. It may assist in providing references for determining the sweet spot area and further deep shale gas exploration and development in the southern Sichuan Basin. |
