Title: Development Status of the Shale Gas Geophysical Prospecting Technology
Abstract: In recent years,the shale gas industry has received much attention in many countries,especially the rapid development of shale gas in North America has changed the world's energy supply pattern.The huge potential of shale gas resources in China has accordingly attracted great concern of the government and related enterprises.Shale gas reservoirs are characterized by high natural gamma,low acoustic velocity,low density and high resistivity,serving as the basis for the identification and evaluation of shale gas exploration geophysical technology.The current shale gas exploration and development in our country is in its starting stage,and the main task is the optimization of favorable target areas,resource quantity evaluation and key technology tests.Through analysis of the geophysical technology development situation,it is suggested that the geophysical exploration technology is critical for shale gas reservoir evaluation and production capacity-increasing.We should focus on the establishment of shale gas reservoir logging evaluation methods and standards,as well as strengthening research of shale gas reservoir seismic data anisotropic treating and multi-wave inversion technologies.China should increase investment to shale gas exploration work,combine the basic research with the development of key technologies,combine the successful experiences of foreign countries with our own independent innovative research and development,and then deploy basic investigations and assessment of shale gas resources.We should thus establish an evaluation system of shale gas geophysical exploration suitable for China's geological characteristics.
