To investigate the spontaneous imbibition mechanism of shale reservoirs to fracturing fluid, the marine shale of Longmaxi Formation in Sichuan Basin and the continental shale of Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin were taken as the research object, and the actual fracturing fluid was taken as the imbibition fluid. The spontaneous imbibition characteristics and control mechanism of marine and continental shales on fracturing fluid were studied by the spontaneous imbibition test system and the characterization methods of mineral composition and microscopic pore. The results show that the spontaneous imbibition curves of the two groups of shale increase rapidly and then decrease slowly with the increase of imbibition time, and the decrease of imbibition is mainly due to the decrease of shale weight caused by the dissolution of soluble minerals. TOC (total organic carbon) and quartz content of the two groups of shale exhibit a negative correlation with the maximum imbibition, while clay minerals, carbonate and pore volume exhibit a positive correlation with the maximum imbibition. Although the clay mineral content of Yanchang Formation shale is higher than that of Longmaxi Formation shale, its maximum imbibition is relatively low, which may be due to the more developed pore structure of Longmaxi Formation shale. The adsorption of hydrophilic minerals in shale and the capillary action of microscopic pores are the main driving forces for the spontaneous imbibition of fracturing fluid, and the influence of microscopic pores is stronger than that of hydrophilic minerals. For the flowback problem of fracturing fluid in shale gas wells, a better fracturing fluid ratio scheme can be proposed by adjusting the chemical composition of fracturing fluid and combining the spontaneous imbibition test results of fracturing fluid to meet the actual engineering needs. The research results can provide theoretical references for efficient development of shale gas.
