摘要
As the needs of low carbon economics and the demands of clear energy keep increasing,shale gas exploration has greatly developed in recent years,especially in North America.With enormous potential reserves and bright prospect,shale gas exploration in China draws more attention of the industry.At present,the exploration and development in our country is still in the primary stage.Functions of exploration geophysics in the domains remain unclear.With analysis of requirements of geophysical technologies in shale gas E&P,this paper discuss a few key methods for reservoir characterization and production improvement,which will pay an important role in shale gas E&P in the future.
