Shale Gas-in-Place Calculation from Sichuan Basin, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

The methods of shale gas content measurement and shale Gas-in-place calculation are introduced in detail. The shale gas content is form 1.05 to 1.84 m3/t. From Gas-in-place calculation the adsorption gas content is a little more than free gas content. The advantage of shale gas accumulation areas are high formation pressure, low water saturation, high porosity and high total organic content. There are some discrepancy between shale gas content testing and gas in place calculation and three reasons may cause this phenomenon.
