This book tries to sort out basic methods and technologies in shale gas exploration and development from the perspective of the industry. The book can be divided into ten chapters. The first chapter briefly introduces categories and forming conditions of shale gas resources. The second chapter studies several phases of shale gas exploration and development. It discusses methods and technical means for shale gas exploration and development from the perspective of geological surveys, tests and analysis as well as geophysics and geochemical exploration respectively from the third chapter to the sixth chapter. The seventh chapter illustrates shale gas geology and the evaluation of resources. It discusses drilling and completion, development, and economic assessments respectively from the eighth chapter to the tenth chapter.“China’s New Strategy on Energy - Shale Gas Publishing Project” covers four volumes and twenty fascicles, including geological theories of shale gas and evaluation for exploration, exploration methods and techniques for shale gas geophysics, shale gas development projects and techniques, and economic and environmental policies for shale gas technology. With relevant theories, methods and techniques in the industrial chain of shale gas, the series comes up with comprehensive sorting, illustration and discussions.
