Achieve large-scale exploitation of shale gas necessary factor

To achieve large-scale exploitation of shale gas drilling and the area needs to be implemented densely arranged large volume  Hydraulic fracturing   which also means will occupy large tracts of land resources, which not only give the local a serious impact on the lives of ordinary people, but also will greatly improve mining costs, in this case the development of shale gas is still economically viable is unknown.frac sand companies China's most important resource of shale gas to the Sichuan Basin, it also facing water scarcity and high population density two main issues.
U.S. shale gas development has been able to achieve great results, well-developed pipeline infrastructure is very important protection. In the United States, 210 major gas pipeline over 48 20000 km these pipes can be a good cover every major market and shale gas areas, and northeastern areas of the production and sale of some of the more convenient.ceramic proppant In contrast, China's situation is not optimistic. 2010, China's natural gas pipeline is only 36,000 kilometers, is expected to the end of 2015, the total length of 100,000 km pipeline to achieve the goal, so that the status quo will directly affect the development of shale gas.
This series of constraints remind us that shale gas development difficulty is not small, but also to remind us that the evaluation of the Chinese American shale gas recoverable resources ranked first in the world is only a figure of conjecture. Technical conditions of either or geological conditions, there is a huge gap between the United States both at the same time, population density, poor infrastructure and a series of pipeline factors restricting the development of shale gas. May be that in shale gas reserves and production, the factors that determine the ground subsurface resources, China to engage in "shale gas revolution", but also cautious.
