Review and reflection on shale gas development in China: From Silurian to Cambrian by GUO Tonglou

“…Based on a review of the exploration history of shale gas in the two major marine phases—Silurian Longmaxi Formation and Cambrian Qiongzhusi Formation, this study summarizes the three phases of shale gas exploration: research and exploration (2000-2011), discovery and production (2011-2022), and multi-layer breakthroughs (2022-present). This study thoroughly analyzes the process of two theoretical innovations and paradigm shifts in the exploration and research of marine shale gas in Sichuan Basin. (1) After comparing the formation conditions and exploration and development characteristics of shale gas between China and the United States, Chinese researchers abandoned the simple replication of North American experience, and highlighted the critical role of preservation conditions based on the evolution characteristics of China’s multi-phase tectonics. …”
