Shale gas previews signs of excitement

Large-scale development of  shale gas  in the United States, spurred by the success that China represented by shale gas Unconventional gas sources are now beginning to develop signs of excitement, vaguely reminiscent of a few years ago of the photovoltaic industry and wind power industries. I think that the development of domestic shale gas inadequate understanding of systemic risk, it is our country in the development of unconventional oil and gas resources in the biggest challenge.
Despite our abundant reserves of shale gas resources, but the occurrence conditions are generally poor. MLR data show that China's shale gas are distributed is to hilly areas as much, the Western Desert, Plateau, Gobi will be more.frac sand In contrast, the U.S. shale gas are distributed in the plains, exploration and development much easier. Of shale gas buried deep, basically in 3,000 meters, a lot of shale gas in the United States 1000-2000 m. Meanwhile, China's shale gas resources survey and exploration and development is still in its early stage exploration, the Ministry has yet to conduct a comprehensive shale gas resources survey and evaluation.
Occurrence conditions of shale gas than the United States decided to develop a more complex needs technical support, which involves exploration, drilling, fracturing, mining, the use of complex technical systems as a whole. At present, China Although initially mastered the shale gas vertical well fracturing technology, some companies are also known to enter the U.S. shale gas supply chain, but has not yet formed the core technology system, do not grasp the core technology of shale gas development.unconventional gas Meanwhile, the U.S. shale gas core mining techniques strictly confidential, even if it is difficult to cooperate with U.S. companies to master the core technology, and the U.S. shale gas technology on the occurrence of the characteristics of adaptability remains to be verified.
