"Blue Gold Revolution" U.S. led the way to overcome incomprehensible technical

Chief Executive Officer at the International Energy Agency Maria van der Hoeven opinion, this oil and gas production in North America is in the forefront of change. Worldwide, the United States is the first to achieve a large-scale commercial exploitation of  shale gas  in the country.
The United States is the world's first shale gas exploration and development in the country. 1820s, the United States first commercial shale gas wells in the mouth of the Appalachian Basin, New York State Devonian born, than in North America's first oil well was born still early decades. As technology has been no breakthrough in a very long period of time, U.S. shale gas production has always been very slow progress.
From the beginning of the 1980s, the U.S. government invested heavily in  unconventional gas  for basic research and development work. After entering the new century, two in the ordinary sounds obscure abstruse technology, making shale gas production increased significantly. One is "fracking" and the other one is the horizontal drilling technology. Fracking is mixed with sand and chemicals to high-pressure water injection wells to break shale parallel to the release of shale gas; horizontal well is greatly increased shale gas recovery.
Figures on the "shale gas revolution" the best description. In 2006, the U.S. shale gas production accounts for 1% of that year's total gas output;Ceramic proppant 2010, this proportion had increased to 17%. In 2009, the United States more than Russia became the world's largest producer of natural gas, including shale gas production increases contributed. Currently, shale gas in the U.S. natural gas production in the proportion of about 35%, the U.S. Department of Energy predicts that by 2030 this proportion will rise to 55%.
"Shale gas revolution" is being vigorously carried out within the nation.fracturing proppant In the United States 48 states have shale gas resources from the Northeast to the Midwest, at least 20 states in the development of shale gas.
