Structural deformation and its pore-fracture system response of the Wufeng-Longmaxi shale in the Northeast Chongqing area, using FE-SEM, gas adsorption, and SAXS

Jie Xiang et al.

Summary: Tectonism in the periphery of the Sichuan Basin has significantly deformed the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation, affecting the pore-fracture system and shale gas migration. Deformed shale samples from the anticline and detachment structure, as well as undeformed shale samples, were analyzed to understand the structural deformation and pore-fracture system. The results show that deformed samples have a different structural deformation and pore-fracture characteristics compared to undeformed samples, with more developed micro-fractures and reduced number of organic matter pores. Furthermore, the structural deformation of shale has led to changes in pore volume, surface area, and methane adsorption capacity. These findings are important for understanding the enrichment and preservation of shale gas.

Multi-scale pore structure characterization of lacustrine shale and its coupling relationship with material composition: An integrated study of multiple experiments

Rixin Zhao et al.

Summary: Characterizing the microscopic pore system of organic-rich shales is crucial for understanding the occurrence and flow behavior of shale oil. This study quantitatively characterized the full-scale pore structure of typical lacustrine shales in the northern Songliao Basin, China, and analyzed the coupling relationship between multi-scale pore structure and material composition. The results showed that these shales mainly developed inorganic interparticle pores related to clay minerals, as well as a small amount of organic matter pores. The full-scale characterization revealed that the shales mainly developed micropores and mesopores, with the pore size primarily distributed below 150 nm. Clay minerals and carbonate minerals were found to govern the development of II-micropores and macropores, while organic matter controlled the development of I-micropores.

Study on the Pore Structure and Fractal Characteristics of Different Lithofacies of Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation Shale in Southern Sichuan Basin, China

Chao Qian et al.

Summary: Gas content and flow characteristics in shale are closely related to shale lithofacies, which exhibit significant differences in pore structure and fractal characteristics. This study systematically characterized the pore attributes of marine Wufeng-Longmaxi formation shales using various techniques. The results showed that siliceous shales have the largest surface porosity, pore volume, and specific surface area, while mixed shales have the most complex pore structure. The lithofacies variation has a significant impact on specific surface area, but a minor effect on pore volume.

Controlling factors of lamellation fractures in marine shales: A case study of the Fuling Area in Eastern Sichuan Basin, China

Xiang Xu et al.

Summary: The characteristics and controlling factors of lamellation fractures in marine shales play a crucial role in the accumulation and preservation of shale gas. Organic matters, brittle minerals, laminae, and pyrite are found to be the main controlling factors affecting the development of lamellation fractures in the Paleozoic Wufeng Formation and Longmaxi Formation in the Fuling Area of Eastern Sichuan Basin.

Pore characteristics and pore structure deformation evolution of ductile deformed shales in the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation, southern China

Xiaoshi Li et al.

Summary: Marine shales in southern China have experienced multiple complex tectonic movements, which highly impact shale pore characteristics and evolution. Through integrated experimental procedures, it was found that increasing deformation leads to higher shale permeability and changes in pore structure. This study provides insights for better understanding the pore structure evolution process in shale exploration and development under tectonic deformation.

Influence of Mineral Compositions on Shale Pore Development of Longmaxi Formation in the Dingshan Area, Southeastern Sichuan Basin, China

Shun He et al.

Summary: Shales in the Dingshan area have complex mineral compositions, mainly quartz and clay minerals, with varying contents. Organic matter mainly controls the development of micromesopores, while quartz and feldspar mainly control the development of macropores, clay minerals provide interlaminar pores, and pyrite plays a role in promoting shale pores within a certain content range, but inhibiting micropore development when exceeding this range.
