Abstract Fuling shale gas field is one of the most successful shale gas play in China. Production logging is one of the vital technologies to evaluate the shale gas contribution in different stages and different clusters. Production logging has been conducted in over 40 wells and most of the operations are successful and good results have been observed. Some previous studies have unveiled one or several wells production logging results in Fuling shale gas play. But production logging results show huge difference between different wells. In order to get better understanding of the results, a comprehensive overview is carried out. The effect of lithology layers, TOC (total organic content), porosity, brittle mineral content, well trajectory is analyzed. Results show that the production logging result is consistent with the geology understanding, and fractures in the favorable layers make more gas contribution. Rate contribution shows positive correlation with TOC, the higher the TOC, the greater the rate contribution per stage. For wells with higher TOC, the rate contribution difference per stage is relatively smaller, but for wells with lower TOC, it shows huge rate contribution variation, fracture stages with TOC lower than 2% contribute very little, and there exist one or several dominant fractures which contributes most gas rate. Porosity and brittle minerals also show positive effect on rate contribution. The gas rate contribution per fracture stage increases with the increase of porosity and brittle minerals. The gas contribution of the front half lateral and that of latter half lateral are relatively close for the "upward" or horizontal wells. However, for the "downward" wells, the latter half lateral contribute much more gas than the front half lateral. It is believed that the liquid loading in the toe parts reduced the gas contribution in the front half lateral. The overview research is important to get a compressive understanding of production logging and different fractures’ contribution in shale gas production. It is also useful to guide the design of horizontal laterals and fractures scenarios design.
