Shale Gas Exploitation in China: Resource Status, Technical Bottleneck and Solving Strategies

Facing the increasing energy demand, shale gas resource reserves are rich in China, the resource of shale gas has great market prospects. But the exploitation of shale gas in China is still at the exploratory stage, it's horizontal drilling technology, the hydraulic fracturing, and the cementing and completion technology is difficult to satisfy the demand of the economy and scale of mining. In view of the current technical conditions, this paper puts forward the measures of shale gas exploitation, the aim is to carry out relevant technical research and accelerate the pace of development of shale gas.
