China shale gas in Sichuan Province
Long ago, people knew the existence of shale gas, simply because of natural conditions, making it costly mining, very strenuous. Figuratively, rock like human muscle, while natural gas is the muscle in blood vessels, the development of conventional natural gas is blood in the veins, and the development of shale gas is like blood from the capillaries, difficult to imagine. Sino-US shale gas training recently held in Chengdu, as technology advances, Americans began fracking water power technology such as shale gas, and innovation and reduce costs. So now the United States in the development of shale gas costs only slightly more than conventional gas. However, the Chinese also different from the US Energy Department report predicted that China's shale gas reserves in the world, to assess China's Ministry of Land and also believes that land (excluding the Qinghai-Tibet region) of recoverable shale gas resource potential of 25 trillion cubic meters of conventional natural gas resources and a considerable amount of land, but also comparable to the US. However, many analysts believe that China shale gas geological storage conditions much worse than the United States, the cost will be two to four times the United States, and Chinese enterprises to master the hydraulic fracturing method is still very basic, need a lot of land to learn foreign technologies. Some commentators even China in the end there is no such a high shale gas reserves are very skeptical, that the abundance of shale gas in China and the United States is not in a level, drilling is probably just a loss leader.
