Abstract: The gas pools in the Upper Jurassic Penglaizhen Formation in the Xindu gas field, western Sichuan are believed to be the industrial gas pools consisting of a number of gas-bearing sandstone bodies. The favourable sedimentary microfacies is represented by channel mouth bar and submarine fan bar sandstones. The lithologies comprise fine-grained lithic sandstones and lithic quartz sandstones, which are relatively densed, with moderate to low porosity and permeability. The seismic response model for the gas-bearing sandstones displays the features of low frequency, high amplitude and low impedance, and the well-logs for the gas reservoirs exhibit the electrical properties of high AC, high resistance, low natural gamma-ray log, low neutron log and low density.
