Status Analysis of Geophysical Exploration for Shale Oil and Gas in Guangxi Province

Based on the important foundation investigations for shale gas exploration in 13 th Five Year Plan of China, the geophysical surveys for shale oil and gas in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces are implemented in order. However, there are few research work considered the geophysical explorations for shale oil and gas in Guangxi province. It also is the main challenge to implement the suitable geophysical technologies effectively for the above goals in foundation investigations of south China in 13 th Five Year Plan. With the geology comparability of Guangxi province and its peripheral areas for shale oil and gas exploration, the status analysis of geophysical exploration is given for the peripheral areas of Guangxi province. It is aimed at obtaining the wide applications of geophysical technologies for shale oil and gas exploration. Then some suggestions are given from the above analysis of geophysical exploration for shale oil and gas in Guangxi province. Moreover, the wide applications of 2D seismic exploration, the priority development of 2.5 D electromagnetic method, systemic testing of geophysical property and the application of hybrid geophysical survey are concluded by learning from the applications of geophysical exploration for shale oil and gas in peripheral areas of Guangxi province.
