Global shale gas production technology and China's exploration

Shale gas is an important kind of unconventional natural gas resources,are widely distributed through the world and the proportion of natural gas production is increasing.Shale gas has low permeability,long production cycle and exploitation life.As a kind of effective and clean energy,shale gas may bring us tremendous economic and environmental benefits.In recent years,along with that a variety of fracturing technology and horizontal drilling technology improves,the U.S.A shale gas production has gradually increased and it will play an important role in the U.S.A.Shale gas in china is mostly distributed in north-northeast area,south area,northwest area and Qinghai-Tibet area of China.The research,exploration and development for shale gas are still at the exploratory stage in China.Many basins have the geological condition for forming shale gas.Therefore,the prospect of exploration and development for shale gas is very wide.The rapidly development of shale gas in America is worth learning for China and it can be learned and used for the shale exploration and development and stimulation in China.
