The relationship between the United States and the Middle East
Since the United States in recent years, "shale gas revolution", U.S. unconventional gas development much faster than expected, and faster output growth of the United States of "energy independence" is no longer a fantasy. United States not only no longer need to import liquefied natural gas and liquefied natural gas with its own fast alternative to diesel, as well as a windfall in shale gas development in fracturing proppants a large number of shale oil, but also to the United States on Middle East oil demand straight decline, in 2010 the United States in the Middle East Only 80 million tons of oil dependence.

Our rich shale gas resources. Recoverable shale gas resources of about 26 trillion cubic meters, the resource potential and the United States is similar, the difference is with the United States, China's shale gas exploration more difficult, much deeper than the depth of the U.S. shale gas reservoirs. Some Russian experts believe that China's shale gas development is still in the "young" stage. Americans also believe that technically the development of shale gas is still in its early stages.
However, China's strong demand for natural gas, driving to accelerate the development of shale gas industry. In 2009, China's natural gas consumption amounted to 81 billion cubic meters, of which domestic production of 76 billion cubic hydraulic fracture stimulation meters, accounting for 94%. 2020, China's natural gas gap will exceed 135 billion cubic meters. Thus, there are plans to actively develop unconventional gas resources to meet our demand for natural gas will be an important way and protection.
In order to accelerate the exploitation of shale gas, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Board in September 2009 began to study the development of shale gas exploration and encourage the development and utilization policies. National Energy Board to establish shale gas exploration and development of key technology research projects, increase scientific and technological research, breakthroughs in core technologies to accelerate the pace of shale gas exploration and development. Specific shale gas development plans and policies being developed and research.
April 13, 2011, the first well ultra-deep wells kilometers Strategic Survey "National shale gas resource potential evaluation and favorable region preferably" special construction of oil and gas resources from the Ministry of Land and organize the implementation of the Strategic Research Center - Cen Page 1 Well, in Guizhou Province, Yang Xiang smoothly Cengong spud.
Deputy director of the Ministry of Land and Resources Strategic Research Center of Oil and Gas, said Zhang Dawei, a strategic goal of China's shale gas resource exploration and development strategy for the investigation and is in the country by 2020 optimized 50-80 favorable target areas and 20-30 exploration Development, recoverable reserves of shale gas steady growth, reaching one trillion cubic meters of shale resin coated ceramic proppant gas production grew rapidly, reaching 8-12% of conventional natural gas production, making shale gas has become a major clean energy resources.
