Noteworthy Issues on Effective Production of Shale Gas Resource in China

China’s shale gas exploration and production has been included in the national agenda.However,many issues that regarding to cost-effective exploration and production still need to be noted and solved properly.As an unconventional natural gas resource,shale gas has its uniqueness,such as aimed at the market and users,depended on engineering and technology,featured in integration and intensive modol.In many undeveloped regions in China where gas pipeline network is not readily available,in shortage of water and electricity,poor infrastructure,a lot of difficulties must be solved,including that how to determine the production according to sales and keep it stable in the future,with integration and intensive model to keep cost-effective exploration and production.This paper attempts to approach the main technical and economic problems that encountered in shale gas exploration and production,by means of systematic engineering method,pay great attention to cost-effective production,and take the engineering and technology as the most important aspect,so as to analyze technical and economic problems,draw attention from energy source industry.
