Research of Shale Gas in China Haifeng Chen, Miao He, Bing Han, Zhonglin Li and Peihai Li Abstract The shale gas is an efficient and abundant energy sources in the world, and is an important alternative energy resources in the future. Accordingly some countries give their attention to it. However, our country is late in this field. With the support of our country, shale gas research has very progress. The researchers commenced their study in the early period of 21st century. Shale gas research is mainly concentrated in aggregation conditions and potential evaluation of resource, evaluation favorable areas, development conditions, etc. In order to promote the exploration and development of shale gas in China, it must strengthen international cooperation. The chapter introduces the status and progress of China’s shale gas and gives some suggestions. Keywords Shale gas • Resource investigation and evaluation • Energy resource
34.1 Introduction Energy resources is indispensable important material resources for the human survival, economic development and social progress [1]. With China’s rapid economic development, China has become the second largest country in oil imports and consumption all around the world. According to the forecast by 2050, annual energy consumption will reach 38 billion tons of standard coal (equivalent to 3 times in 2000) and China will become the world’s largest

energy consuming country. Energy issue has become more and more serious. If our country does not lead to speed up the development of new and renewable sources of energy as an alternative energy, it will probably be out of stock. Therefore, finding and exploitation of new energy is the main way to solve our country’s future energy problems [2]. Unconventional oil and gas resources are good alternative energy, and shale gas is most potential and giant reserves in the Unconventional oil and gas resources. It has very enlightenment to our country that U.S. shale gas exploration and development achieved great success, many country starts to research it, our country also give their enough attention to it. It is estimated that shale gas resource can each 456 × 1012 m3 in the world, and china is about 26 × 1012 m3 which destined to become the primary energy in the future in our country [3, 4].
34.2 Research Situation in China Shale gas is a very important unconventional natural gas resource which mint from shale and accumulation in absorption and Free State [5, 6]. It exists in dark mudstone and shale high content of org
