Application of Geological Theory in Shale Gas Exploration and Development

Abstract:

Shale gas exploration and development in alleviating energy supply pressure, and low carbon economy development and adjusting and optimizing the energy structure has the effect which cannot ignore. As the north American shale gas exploration and development of the huge success, the domestic study of shale gas is also rapidly developed. So to understand shale gas geology difference at home and abroad, from accumulation mechanism, geological characteristics, the exploration method of shale gas geological theory has carried on the summary and analysis of the system. Contrast the research progress of north American shale gas, and the problems existing in the analysis in the study of shale gas in China, to select the most conducive to China's shale gas exploration and development methods. In this way it can make the success of shale gas development in China become a reality as early as possible.
