TL;DR: The Sichuan basin is characterized by two episodes of weak extension and compression which influenced the architecture of the marine platform during Palaeozoic to Middle Triassic times as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated multiple upper Ediacaran (Dengying Formation) outcrops in the upper Yangtze area to reconstruct the carbonate platform evolution and underlying controls.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors classified Permian volcanic rocks in the Sichuan Basin using drilling, mud logging, assay, logging and seismic data comprehensively, and the main factors controlling the development of volcanic reservoirs were determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of studies were performed on the sequence frameworks and sedimentary filling evolution characteristics of the Dengying Fm in central-western Sichuan Basin, and their controlling effects on the reservoir development and distribution and source-reservoir assemblage during its sedimentation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the recent exploration achievements of Middle Permian natural gas in the Sichuan Basin were summarized, including the marginal platform shoal and girdle intra-platform shoal that are distributed in a large scale.
