In order to ensure the sustainable development of tight gas exploration and development in the Sichuan Basin and achieve economies of scale development, an analysis and research have been conducted on the current status, challenges faced, and response strategies for tight gas exploration and development in the Sichuan Basin. The research results indicate that the Sichuan Basin is very rich in tight gas resources, the geological conditions are generally favorable, and it is conducive to large-scale accumulation and reservoir formation, with significant exploration and development potential. The main technologies for exploration and development have basically taken shape, and the costs continue to decline, hence the conditions are matured for accelerating production. However, there are still certain issues in finely characterizing the distribution of river sand bodies, accurately predicting sweet spot seismic events, achieving optimal and fast drilling, and speeding up the pace of production. Further research into the formation mechanisms of tight gas reservoirs in the basins should be deepened to clarify the patterns of natural gas enrichment. Integrated research on the geological and engineering aspects of tight gas, along with technical breakthroughs in the development of water-bearing sandstone gas reservoirs, should be conducted to lower the development costs. The combination of technological innovation and management innovation should be sustained to achieve economies of scale development of tight gas. Additionally, research into strategies for increasing economic policy support for tight gas development should be expanded.
