The largest Precambrian gasfield in China has been found in the central Sichuan Basin. It has been assumed as an Ediacaran (Sinian) mound–shoal, microfacies-controlled, dolomite reservoir. However, the extremely low porosity–permeability and heterogeneous reservoir cannot establish high production b...
