as a new type of unconventional natural gas resource
has attracted more and more attention. At present
the commercial development of high pressure shale gas reservoir in China has been successfully realized
but the efficient development technology of shale in deep layer and normal pressure shale is still in the exploratory stage. The normal pressure shale reservoirs in China are mainly located in the residual syncline outside the basin. The deformation degree of structure is strong
the formation pressure coefficient is between 0.9 and 1.3
the buried depth is generally shallow
the formation energy is insufficient
and the daily production of single wel

. All those problems result in the failure of commercial breakthrough so far. The fracturing technologies of high-pressure shale gas reservoirs have little effect in the process of normal-pressure shale reconstruction. Based on the difficult problems in the transformation of atmospheric shale gas wells
optimization has been carried out on many aspects such as the perforation mode
artificial fracture control and support technology
field construction technology and fracturing materials. The suitable network fracturing with high density is researched
and the multi-cluster fracture equilibrium extension and multi-scale artificial fracture network are preliminarily realized. The scheme has been tested in an normal pressure shale gas well of a certain shale gas block in southeast Chongqing
and good reconstruction effect has been obtained after fracturing.
