Core Viewpoint - The discovery of the Yongchuan shale gas field in Sichuan Basin, with newly confirmed geological reserves of 124.588 billion cubic meters, marks the successful identification of another large-scale deep shale gas field in China, which will effectively support the construction of a 100 billion cubic meter production capacity base in the Sichuan-Chongqing region and provide clean energy for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt [2][4]. Group 1 - The Yongchuan shale gas field is located in Yongchuan District, Chongqing, within the complex structural area of the southern Sichuan Basin, with a main burial depth exceeding 3,500 meters, representing a typical deep shale gas reservoir [4]. - In 2016, the Yongchuan shale gas field was discovered following a significant breakthrough at the Yongyue 1HF well [4]. - By 2019, the confirmed geological reserves of the gas field reached 23.453 billion cubic meters, and subsequent exploration efforts led to an increase in overall confirmed geological reserves to 148.041 billion cubic meters [6]. Group 2 - The Deputy General Manager of Sinopec Southwest Petroleum Bureau, Xiong Liang, stated that a large amount of high-precision three-dimensional seismic data for deep shale gas has been collected, leading to the development of new structural display mapping technology and high-precision imaging technology [8]. - The next steps involve a strategy of constructing, evaluating, and tackling challenges in the development of shale gas in the southern Sichuan region, laying the resource foundation for achieving a production target of 3 billion cubic meters during the 14th Five-Year Plan [8].
