China able to replicate in the U.S. shale gas revolution?

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts that China shale gas reserves of up to 36 trillion cubic meters,Unconventional gas more than twice the U.S., ranking first in the world. In 2012, China Land and Resources issued the "National survey and evaluation of shale gas resource potential and favorable area Preferred" research reports. The report for the first time systematically investigated, evaluated the Chinese shale gas resources "family", the results showed that Chinese shale gas resource potential, wide distribution area: China Geological shale gas resource potential of land is 134 trillion cubic meters, recoverable resource potential of 25 trillion cubic meters (excluding Tibet region).
China's abundant shale gas resources for many people bring Lenovo, China able to replicate in the U.S. shale gas revolution? In this regard, the U.S. Natural Resources Environmental Protection Commission Beijing Representative Office energy, environment, climate change senior adviser Yang Fuqiang analysis: "can not be copied or reproduced, I think this conclusion too early and we are now the main geological exploration, proven relatively small, we are now talking about geological resource potential, exploration potential becomes available force is still a very long process for MLR is concerned,frac proppant it is currently tendering a very important purpose is to ascertain in the end we how much can be economically and technically recoverable, so that we can exploit shale gas across the country to make a good plan. "
Chinese Academy of Engineering, Tsinghua University, Professor Ni Weidou said: "The success of natural gas in the United States, it is a fact, but would like to get in China such a big success, but also the need for further research, first, that our resources are very many, in fact, , our own shale gas above do little research, but rarely play well, according to the well in the end we have to guess how much shale gas is very rough; Second, according to our oil and natural gas which dozens years of work, our geology is more complex, and the United States into a piece, flat, and we are over the Himalayas squeeze, squeeze past the geological structure of our crowded chaos;frac sand companies Third, we are more mountainous, mountainous mining requires a lot of engineering machinery, mining infrastructure which is very high; also need water, a well takes several tons of water in short, fully replicate the successful experience of the United States, do not head fever, need to do a careful analysis and research.
