China began to promote the development of shale gas

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration in 2011 for the 32 countries, 48 shale gas basins of the world technically recoverable shale gas resources in China ranks first.

Shale gas is embedded in shale gas systems, and coal bed methane, tight gas sands constitute the three major  unconventional gas  is a clean new energy resources. MLR data show that the world shale gas resources of 456 trillion cubic meters, with fairly conventional natural gas, mainly in North America, Central Asia, West Asia, North Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet Union territory.

Currently in the U.S.,  shale gas  development has profoundly changed the structure of its energy. From 2005 to 2010, relying on large-scale development of shale gas, the United States only five years to become the world's largest natural gas producer. According to this trend, the United States has been dependent on energy imports, is likely to become a natural gas exporter.

In the United States, many countries have shale gas industry placed high expectations. Including China,Fracturing proppant have begun to promote the development of domestic shale gas development technology, and to develop strategies and policies. Well, for the emerging energy superpower China, the ability to replicate the success of the United States? Combined with China's own characteristics of shale gas development strategy and what challenges they faced?
