Unconventional Gas Resource and Developing Technology in China

摘要

Many countries in the world begin to attach great importance to the utilization of the unconventional gas. The unconventional gas resources are very abundant in China. The development of Unconventional Gas is still in the early stage. Tight gas enters large scale and commercializing stage. Coalbed methane (CBM) is in the initial stage of commercialization, and shale gas is in the stage of resource evaluation and technology study. There are mainly three challenges need to confront, uncertainties of unconventional gas resources, key technology with low cost and environmental pollution. So in the future, resource evaluation, engineering technologies and environmental technologies in China need to be strengthened.
