"He Stone Mountain" can not "jade"

Of shale oil,  shale gas ,  coalbed methane and other unconventional oil and gas resources abundant. The face of energy security and greenhouse gas reduction pressure, while in the U.S. shale gas commercially successful role model and the global development boom, driven by the development of unconventional oil and gas resources have also entered the real advance stage. Over the past decade, China's annual submission of proven geological reserves, dense reservoir of oil equivalent increased from 15% to 70%, and tight gas gas production accounted for the national annual output of 1/4, tight oil in the Ordos , Junggar Basin, 500 million to 10 million ton reserves the scale area, southern Qinshui Basin CBM initially built, the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin, ground two production bases in southern Sichuan Basin shale gas marine shale in the multi- wells for industrial airflow.

However, many industry experts said frankly,frac sand companies unconventional domestic energy exploration and development started late, in terms of technology, scale, level or rate of development, are still in its infancy.

unconventional gas compared to the booming oil and gas industry in North America, China geology with polycyclic tectonic evolution, mainly continental strata, facies changes and other characteristics, in the context of structural dynamics, depositional environment, source rocks, sediments points sorting, reservoir heterogeneity, migration and accumulation mechanism and gas-water relations and other aspects, the differences were relatively large, which also determines the Chinese unconventional gas development can not copy foreign models.

Exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources, technical requirements, high cost, not only need to identify resource assessment techniques, complex structural conditions drilling technology, but also need to improve different reservoir fracturing technology.

More importantly, the developed part of the molding technique is very suitable for our country. For example, the U.S. shale gas exploration and development are two recognized technologies: hydraulic fracturing and horizontal well technology. The use of the former, a huge amount of water, which is relatively rich in water resources of the U.S. is not a problem, but our shale gas are located in inland water areas, completely foreign technology can only meet a small scale experimental development. In addition, thanks to the inherent advantages of abundant land resources, the United States to achieve a low-cost, factory-style development of shale gas. Forecast for the domestic shale gas is relatively abundant but more hilly southwestern region, almost no replication is possible.
