U.S. unconventional resources - shale gas development process

As we all know, shale gas is mined from shale in natural gas, is an important  Unconventional gas  resources. Earth shale gas resource potential may be greater than conventional natural gas and oil reserves. Experts predict: Worldwide shale oil reserves of about 11 trillion to 13 trillion tons, mainly in North America, China, the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, the former Soviet Union and other regions. Rich reserves of  shale gas  is brought hope to resolve the shortage of natural gas.

The United States is the first exploration and development of shale gas resources in countries as early as first shale gas wells in 1821 in its eastern start. As of 2010, the U.S. shale gas production has with China's conventional natural gas production was flat. The past five years the United States launched a "shale gas revolution", shows shale gas development and utilization of natural gas will change the pattern of the world.

Starting in 2005, the U.S. natural gas production in shale gas production and a rapid increase in proportion to the 2009 U.S. leapfrogged Russia, to become the world's largest producer of natural gas. The rapid development of shale gas on the future international energy markets, and even international economic and geopolitical have a profound impact, which is also known as the 'game changer' in the title.

However, as with oil, as people are more concerned about the current shale gas intuitive fuel properties, such as the United States cheap and abundant natural gas, which has inspired the world to become its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter expectations. However, still to be achieved with an LNG export compared to the U.S. real economy has started from the 'shale gas revolution' to obtain substantial gains, especially the U.S. petrochemical industry has truly feel this' game changer 'the enormous energy. For the United States, shale gas has become the economic revitalization of the rare entity of power, while in the revitalization of the petrochemical industry is conducting an important position on the chain. This is for those who are dependent on petrochemical industries, such as plastics, light industry, construction, agriculture, electronics, and medical care, providing new investment and export opportunities, but also led to employment growth.

At present, the world, in addition to U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas impact on the world energy market, the future is more likely to face more competitive 'Made in USA', which probably is the United States 'shale gas revolution' in the true sense lies. In view of  shale gas  development has brought historic changes in the world are actively planning response to the boom in shale gas development to benefit.
