Abstract China began to build its national shale gas demonstration area in 2012. The central exploration, drilling, and
development technologies for medium and shallow marine shale reservoirs with less than 3,500 m of buried depth
in Changning-Weiyuan, Zhaotong, and other regions had matured. In this study, we macroscopically investigated
the development history of shale gas in the United States and China and compared the physical and mechanical
conditions of deep and shallow reservoirs. The comparative results revealed that the main reasons for the order-ofmagnitude difference between China’s annual shale gas output and the United States could be attributed to three
aspects:… More >
