Abstract

The southern Sichuan Basin is rich in natural gas and is a key area for hydrocarbon exploration. Due to multi-phase tectonic movements, structural characteristics and preservation conditions are critical for gas accumulation. Focusing on the Middle Permian Maokou Formation in the LY area, this study analyzes the regional and local structural framework to assess structural features and their impact on preservation conditions. Using indicators such as deformation intensity, caprock properties, formation water chemistry, and pressure coefficients, an evaluation system is established to identify favorable exploration zones. Results show that the LY area lies in the southern Sichuan low-steep str... More >

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 >

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 >
