Community harmony and mine is to develop shale gas foundation, the only way to allow developers to realize the importance of environmental protection. "
Compared to shale gas development infrastructure and technological progress and other issues, environmental protection laws and regulations,fracturing proppant the lack of policy is China shale gas development are also required to worry about. China shale gas resource distribution most concentrated in the water, less water and densely populated areas, is bound to bring a large number of industrial water problems affecting the civilian water and other industrial water needs.
