Global shale gas mining of can learn from the US five major experience in
"The United States has become the world number one natural gas-producing countries, outside the United States region's  shale gas  reserve development although the in its early, but the can learn from the a lot of American the experiences and lessons." Global management consulting enterprise Accenture released today the report of the "water resources and shale gas development . "the case introduction.
?Report writing, one of Accenture Greater China Vice President Yang Wei [microblogging] China Economic Times reporter, said the global shale gas resource development has entered a rapid development track, which caused environmental problems remain worrying, especially in relation to water use issues especially. Thus, the report think that the, operators should in the five main areas to develop their own capacities in order to in the current industrial pattern come to the fore.
?Operators quotient first of all should Concerned about the wastewater deal with problems. For a long time, managing oil and gas production operations generate common method of water generated by injecting into the reservoir for processing, in order to maintain or enhance oil recovery, or by Underground Injection to Class II Environmental Protection Agency approved saline wells. Water-saving measures, as well new areas of processing capabilities's the lack of, both make people more Concerned about the with the study the relevant generate water's recycling and reuse situation, especially in is the ability to conduct on-site treatment and reuse. Although the short term, without going through too much  hydraulic fracturing  can be carried back to the pre-treatment water reuse is a viable solution, but operators need to seriously consider that produce large amounts of high-saturated brine term impacts.
?In shale gas production, has developed many techniques for waste water treatment, such as reuse and recycling, and has been used in a variety of different carriers circumstances, for example, with or without pretreatment, from simple filtering the high crystallization method, but their cost is clearly higher than the traditional approach.
?Second, the decrease their water use and emissions intensity. With the global shortage of freshwater resources, the growing pressure on the public use of water for shale gas monitoring and reporting requirements continue to increase, people will increasingly concerned about how to reduce the intensity of water use in the production process. You can help by improving operational efficiency goals, including configuration and optimization of drilling wells in each well site number; through the end of wastewater reuse to maximize the value of water resources; current industry focus on the development of small water demand  Proppant   and to seek alternative methods of  Hydraulic fracturing , both for  shale gas  production to reduce water consumption intensity made positive efforts.
?Its three, operators must enhance their own data management capabilities, because regulators institutions to improve the operators to provide the entire shale gas operators life-cycle all materials use the data of the requirements, especially yes water resources utilization data. Yang Wei believes that larger operators to benefit from such a data management system for the development and deployment of economies of scale.
?Of its four, the report think that the, covers the from the water supply to a supported fracturing operations, and then to wastewater metastasis reports, as well supporting compliance Xing requirements, etc. a series of logistics activities, in the shale development mid plays an important role. Therefore need to develop a specific strategy for shale gas stream, so that the overall strategy of developing shale gas play a central role.
?It is reported that, North America some of the industry-leading operators have already successfully adopted such as traffic control tower, etc., will contribute to manage environmental health and safety risks, boost the operating performance and achieve cost-effectiveness.
?Its five, strengthen cooperation. Report cautioned operators, strengthen the supervision institutions and other the cooperation of operators, in order to reduce the job strength, for example, sharing logistics, share the remaining production capacity, shared infrastructure and so on. Through shared these key regulatory areas of risk, operators can reduce their own environmental footprint.
