| Abstract |
The shale oil and gas exploitation in China is technically benchmarked with the United States in terms of develop-ment philosophy, reservoir stimulation treatment, fracturing parameters, fracturing equipment and materials, oil/gas produc-tion technology, and data/achievements sharing. It is recognized that the shale oil and gas exploitation in China is weak in seven aspects: understanding of flow regimes, producing of oil/gas reserves, monitoring of complex fractures, repeated stimu-lation technology, oil/gas production technology, casing deformation prevention technology, and wellbore maintenance tech-nology. Combined with the geological and engineering factors of shale oil and gas in China, the development suggestions of four projects are proposed from the macro-and micro-perspective, namely, basic innovation project, exploitation technology project, oil/gas production stabilization project, and supporting efficiency-improvement project, so as to promote the rapid, ef-ficient, stable, green and extensive development of shale oil and gas industry chain and innovation chain and ultimately achieve the goal of "oil volume stabilizing and gas volume increasing". |
