Shale gas is a natural gas that primarily exists in an adsorbed or free state within mudstone, high-carbon mudstone, shale, and silty rock interlayers. It is an important alternative energy source and is widely used in gas chemicals, automotive fuels, and other applications. Unlike conventional reservoir gas deposits, shale serves not only as the source rock for natural gas generation but also as both the reservoir and cap rock for gas accumulation and preservation. Shale gas reservoirs are characterized by low permeability, making extraction relatively challenging. These reservoirs typically exhibit low porosity and low permeability, resulting in significantly higher flow resistance compared to conventional natural gas. Therefore, the ultimate recovery rate of shale gas depends heavily on effective fracturing measures, in which proppants play a critical role.
