Progress of Exploration and Development of Shale Gas in China China National Petroleum Corporation September. 2010 Preface In the last year, with the rapid development of global gas, three striking characters emerged. One is that we have all recognized 21st century is a century of natural gas; and the second one is that a low carbon economy and environment protection are subjects of world development, and the last one is that unconventional gas is not only changing international energy landscape, but also becoming the hot spot of global. With respect to conventional gas, shale gas is absolutely a new field. With the rapid exploitation of shale gas in USA, the shale gas production grows fast, which made the LNG program -a program planed to be imported—suspended or delayed. China has heavy demand for natural gas, however, the gas price of imported from middle Asia and the LNG program of southeast china coastal hilly regions, is estimated to be higher than 2 yuan/m3 . Relatively ，China has abundant shale gas resource, and thus accelerating development and utilization of shale gas has important strategic significance to promote sustainable growth of Chinese economy and relieve shortage of petroleum resource. Outline I Shale Gas Resource and Distribution of China II Shale Gas Progress of CNPC III Conclusions and Understanding 1. Definition of Shale Gas Shale gas is a special kind of unconventional natural gas. Shale gas definition: natural gas occurred in the mudstone or shale with the features of self generation self storage, no air-water interface, formation and storage for a continuous large area, low porosity, low permeability and the like, it
