Exploring the Effects of Hydraulic Fracturing on the 2019 Mw 5.0 Weiyuan Earthquake in Sichuan, China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The seismicity inside the Sichuan Basin in southwest China has been dramatically intensified with the increase of shale gas exploitation recently. On 8 September 2019, an MW 5.0 earthquake struck Weiyuan County in the Sichuan Basin, representing the largest earthquake in the Weiyuan shale gas field.

Research on the Micromechanical Properties of Minerals and Their Interfaces in Fractured Shale Reservoirs

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 8, Page 4032-4045, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The mechanical properties of shale are key parameters affecting shale reservoirs. They influence the gas content in the shale reservoirs, expansion of hydraulic fractures, and microscopic changes in the in‐situ stress. In this paper, the shale of Longmaxi Formation in Changning area of Sichuan Basin is taken as the research object.

Discussion on the contribution of graptolite to organic enrichment and gas shale reservoir: A case study of the Wufeng–Longmaxi shales in South China

Journal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2018
The graptolitic shale of the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formations is widely deposited across the Ordovician and Silurian transition in South China, which is the target of shale gas exploration and development within China.

New Pattern of Uplift‐Depression of the Pre‐Cambrian Basement in the Sichuan Basin: Constraints From Multi‐Seismic Parameter Imaging

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The structural configuration of the pre‐Cambrian basement in the Sichuan Basin, a highly promising region for hydrocarbon exploration, has been a subject of long‐standing debate. Here, we determined the fine‐scale three‐dimensional seismic models of the Sichuan Basin using 187,356 high‐quality P‐ and S‐wave travel time pairs recorded by 627 ...

Effects of Periodic Normal Stress Oscillations on Frictional Properties of Simulated Natural Fault Gouges Under In Situ P‐T Conditions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 8, 28 April 2025.
Abstract Induced earthquakes are occasionally associated with stress oscillations resulting from periodic industrial activities. Yet, the effects of stress oscillations on fault friction under realistic subsurface conditions are not fully clear. We conducted normal stress oscillations experiments using simulated fault gouges derived from the major ...

Characterization of mechanical properties of shale constituent minerals using phase‐identified nanoindentation

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 542-558, 4 February 2025.
Abstract Characterization of mechanical properties of shale constituent minerals (viz., the mechanical genes of shale) has been challenging but of great significance for engineering applications in shale formations. In this study, a phase‐identified nanoindentation is proposed to decode the mechanical genes of shale using a large nanomechanical dataset.

Multi‐Criterion Stability Evaluation and Surface Boundary Method for Slopes

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Slope failure generally starts from a single point, where a local failure surface forms, and then progresses to the overall failure. Based on this behavior, this paper proposes a multi‐criterion stability evaluation approach for describing progressive failure process of slope.
