Tectonic evolution of the Sichuan Basin, Southwest China

Earth-Science Reviews, 2021
Abstract Surface deformation in continental interiors is typically coupled to processes at depth. However, in the Sichuan basin, east of the Tibetan Plateau, recent seismic data detect Neoproterozoic subduction and rifts, indicating long-term tectonic quiescence of the basement. The Sichuan basin is characterized by two episodes of weak extension and

Water Availability for Shale Gas Development in Sichuan Basin, China

open access: yesEnvironmental Science & Technology, 2016
Unconventional shale gas development holds promise for reducing the predominant consumption of coal and increasing the utilization of natural gas in China. While China possesses some of the most abundant technically recoverable shale gas resources in the world, water availability could still be a limiting factor for hydraulic fracturing operations, in ...

Origin of Flowback and Produced Waters from Sichuan Basin, China

open access: yesEnvironmental Science & Technology, 2018
Shale gas extraction through hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling is increasing in China, particularly in Sichuan Basin. Production of unconventional shale gas with minimal environmental effects requires adequate management of wastewater from flowback and produced water (FP water) that is coextracted with natural gas.

Characteristics of air pollution in different zones of Sichuan Basin, China

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
Sichuan Basin, located in southwest China, has been ranked as the fourth of heavily air polluted regions in China partly due to its deep mountain-basin topography. However, spatial-temporal distribution of air pollution over the basin is still unclear due to the lack of monitoring data and poor knowledge. Since January 2015, six criteria air pollutants

Origin of Subsurface Brines in the Sichuan Basin

Groundwater, 1997
Abstract Subsurface brines in the Sichuan Basin occur within sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Sinian to Cretaceous, especially within rocks of Triassic age. The chemical and isotopic compositions of the brines and general geological considerations suggest that the Sichuan Basin brines are derived from waters of different origin ...

The water footprint of hydraulic fracturing in Sichuan Basin, China

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
Shale gas is likely to play a major role in China's transition away from coal. In addition to technological and infrastructural constraints, the main challenges to China's sustainable shale gas development are sufficient shale gas production, water availability, and adequate wastewater management.
