Geological Characteristics and Three-Dimensional Development Potential of Deep Shale Gas in the Luzhou Area, Southern Sichuan Basin, China
Journal of Geo-Energy and Environment | Volume 1, Issue 1: 32-45, 2025 | DOI: 10.62762/JGEE.2025.600070
Abstract
Deep shale sedimentary environment, diagenesis, and pore evolution are closely related to the occurrence state and content of shale gas, exerting significant control on reservoir quality. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mineral composition, spectral gamma-ray logging, elemental logging, and comprehensive well log data were used to analyze the sedimentary environment. Combined with pore structure and storage space experiments, the geological conditions for deep shale gas accumulation were discussed. The Longmaxi Formation high-quality shale reservoirs in southern Sichuan (Luzhou area) are laterally extensive, vertically thick, and contain well-developed natural fractures; t... More >

Uniting Geo-Energy and Environment Science for a Sustainable Future
Journal of Geo-Energy and Environment | Volume 1, Issue 1: 1-7, 2025 | DOI: 10.62762/JGEE.2025.790886
Abstract
Against the backdrop of a profound global energy transition and escalating ecological and environmental risks, the Journal of Geo-Energy and Environment (JGEE) is launched to build a high-level scholarly platform at the intersection of 'Geo-Energy–Environment–Ecology'. JGEE focuses on conventional fossil energy, geothermal energy, and natural gas hydrates, as well as new energy sources such as hydropower, photovoltaics, and hydrogen, and advocates a closed-loop and cross-scale integration of theory–technology–numerical simulation–experiment. It concentrates on energy–environment coupling and resource management, including Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), methane m... More >
