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.

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 ...

Pore Connectivity Characteristics and Controlling Factors for Black Shales in the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation, Southeastern Sichuan Basin, China

Energies, 2022
Investigations into the connectivity and complexity of pore systems in shales are essential for understanding the flow of shale gas and the capacities of the associated reservoirs. In the present study, eight shale samples from the Wufeng-Longmaxi (WF-LMX) Formation that were collected from Well Yucan-6 in the southeast of the Sichuan Basin were ...
