Strategic position of unconventional gas

Unconventional gas mainly consists of tight sandstone gas (hereinafter referred to as thedense gas), coalbed methane and shale gas.

  In recent years, unconventional gas tight gas, coalbed methane and shale gas as the representative of the rapid development attracted the attention of the world,especially the rapid development of American unconventional  gas to natural gas industry has undergone changes in turn the world upside down.

  As a developing country, China is in a critical period of economic and social development, a large number of high-quality, need clean energy. From the energy efficiency and CO2 emissioncharacteristics, natural gas is a current period ideal clean energy. Unconventional gas as the younger members of the family of natural gas, occupy a strategic position play a decisive role in the development of Chinese in natural gas.

  Therefore, the full analysis of the development USA unconventional , exerting the advantage of backwardness, positioning, development of good, make good use of Chinese of unconventional gas resources in China natural gas  industry development and social economic operation is of great strategic significance.
