The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

As petroleum exploration advances and as most of the oil–gas reservoirs in shallow layers
have been explored, petroleum exploration starts to move toward deep basins, which has …

Laboratory measurements including porosity, permeability, high-pressure mercury intrusion
(HPMI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, and microscopic analysis of …

The classical source-to-trap petroleum system concept only considers the migration and
accumulation of conventional oil and gas in traps driven dominantly by buoyance in a basin …

Methane adsorption experiments were performed on eight Lower Silurian Longmaxi
moisture-equilibrated shale samples from the Upper Yangtze Platform, south China, at …

An estimated trillions of cubic meters of natural gas have recently been discovered in the
Sinian dolomite reservoirs in the Sichuan Basin, China. The 20–26 m thick reservoirs were …

Quartz is critical to reservoir properties (eg, rock mechanical behavior and porosity) of
organic mudstones, exerting an important effect on shale gas production. However, the …

The Palaeozoic and lowermost Mesozoic marine carbonate reservoirs of the Sichuan Basin
in China contain variably sour and very dry gas. The source of the gas in the Carboniferous …

Seismicity at a gas reservoir located in the relatively stable Sichuan Basin, China, mirrors
the injection pressure of unwanted water, suggesting that the seismicity is injection induced …
