The areas, where the expansion force of natural gas is smaller than the sum of the capillary force and the hydrostatic pressure within tight reservoirs, are favorable for forming deep-basin gas pools.

Based on studies of deep-basin gas formation conditions, the theory of force balance and the equation of material balance, the favorable areas and gas-containing ranges, as well as possible gas-rich regions are preliminarily predicted in the deep-basin gas pools in the Upper Paleozoic He-8 segment of the Ordos basin.展开更多
