Be careful to follow the trend over shale gas development

China is a national shortage of gas, while  shale gas  has a valuable resource. But its development should avoid blindly follow the crowd and herd. We ate on the development of coal herd of loss, so shale gas development need to be careful and orderly manner, so as to promote China's energy structure optimization.

China shale gas development, there are still many difficulties, from a technical perspective Chinese geological formations and shale gas production there are differences, how to put American technology localization? This is an important issue. In addition, from the perspective of the capital markets, shale gas development requires huge capital investments. U.S. forecast the next three decades, they develop shale gas to put in $ 15 trillion of capital, equivalent to U.S. GDP figures a year.Fracturing proppant So how to take advantage of capital market development funds to solve the problem of shale gas, which is China faces a difficult future. China's domestic capital alone is very difficult, because the shale gas market investment is very large.
Experts said that China's shale gas storage depth is much higher than the U.S., but also exceeded the U.S. geological complexity, coupled with the majority of shale gas development in densely populated areas, both from a technical and social terms, are large development effort , care should be promoted. Currently, the exploitation of shale gas hydraulic fracturing techniques needed to require a lot of water, and our reserves of shale gas-rich regions mostly water scarcity regions, while hydraulic fracturing technology may bring groundwater pollution problems.ceramic proppant It is also an important issue.
      From the national macro level in terms of support for development, including shale gas, including unconventional energy is very correct and timely, but the specific course of action should be designed in line, calmly analyze carefully driven. Now, shale gas is more of a supplement, large-scale development, is estimated to be another ten years.
