The Exploration and Recognition of Stimulated Reservoir Volume for Shale Gas in Sichuan Basin - Taking Well W201 as an Example

Abstract:

In view of the formation characteristics of the Qiongzhusi formation in Sichuan Basin and using the Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) concept for reference, fracturing design of well W201 is completed and field tests are successfully conducted. Through evaluation and analysis of the sand fracturing data and by combining some practical experience of the shale gas multistage fracturing in North America, the difference between SRV in shale gas and traditional fracturing is proposed and inspirations is obtained, reference and guidelines for the development of shale gas in China are supplied.
