Abstract

The unconventional hydrocarbon resources are very abundant within the registered blocks of SINOPEC (China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation). The potential exploration area for coalbed methane (CBM) reaches 101.9 thousand km2 and the resource with the buried depth smaller than 2 000 m is 11.02 trillion m3. The potential exploration area for shell gas is 175 thousand km2 and the volume is 15.9 trillion m3. The potential exploration area for shell oil reaches 117.6 thousand km2 and the resource is huge. Since 2004, SINOPEC has started to pay attention to unconventional hydrocarbon resources and launched research and exploration on CBM, shale gas and shale oil, etc. Recently, unconventional hydrocarbon resources exploration of SINOPEC has obtained breakthrough and progress. By the horizontal well fracturing section, Biye HF-1 obtains 23.6 m3/d commercial shell oil flow in Biyang Depression. By testing, several continental wells get high-yield commercial shell gas flow in Yuanba Block, and Jianye HF-1 obtains 12 300 m3/d commercial shell gas flow in Jiannan Block. The CBM proved reservoir in Yanchuan south block has reached 10 647 millon m3, and lots of wells get commercial CBM gas flow, which makes the pattern of “various resources type” and “multi-stage” exploration and development form on unconventional hydrocarbon resources in SINOPEC.
