Based on the analysis of single-well reservoir geology and integrated with other data of previous research results,drillings and outcrops,we characterized the black-shale reservoir in the lower Longmaxi Formation of the Lower Silurian in southern Sichuan by delineating its depositional environments,black-shale distributions,mineral compositions,reservoir pore types,conservation-permeability conditions,and mechanical properties.It is initially confirmed that the Longmaxi black shale is similar to the main producing gas shale in the United States in terms of four significant reservoir features.①Black shale is a deep-water shelf-facies deposit with great thickness and widely stable distribution in southern Sichuan and its adjacence,therein organic-rich shale intervals have a high gamma log response and are generally 20~135m thick in the depocenter area.②The total content of three brittle minerals,i.e.quartz,feldspar and carbonate,amounts to over 40% and clay minerals contain no montmorillonite and kaolinite.The formations are generally rigid,brittle and characterized by relatively high elastic modulus and low Poisson's ratio.③There exist four kinds of matrix pores,including residual primary pores,organic pores,interlayer micropores in clay minerals and dissolution pores in unstable minerals,as well as a large amount of fractures.Of which organic micropores and interlayer micropore in clay minerals are the main constituents of shale matrix pores.④Geophysics,re-examination of previous data and laboratory analyses were used to initially confirm that the Lomgmaxi shale as a gas reservoir is characteristic of an abnormal high pressure and physical properties better than anticipation.In summary,the Longmaxi Formation black shale in southern Sichuan is of good reservoir conditions for shale-gas exploration and production.
