页岩气资源潜力与勘探开发前景

页岩气为近年来在北美地区广泛勘探开发的天然气新目标，在全球非常规油气勘探开发中异军突起，成为突破最晚、近期发展最快的非常规天然气资源。依据北美地区页岩气勘探开发的历程和全球页岩气勘探开发的进展，阐述了全球页岩气勘探开发的基本态势和页岩气5个方面的典型特征，分析了全球页岩气的资源潜力与分布特征，预测中国页岩气资源潜力约100×1012m3，指出页岩气的成功勘探开发是近10年来油气地质理论与工程技术取得的最激动人心的重大成就，页岩气资源潜力丰富，实现全面开发将带来一场全球的能源革命。最后，提出了4点加快中国页岩气发展的建议。

Resource potential, exploration and development prospect of shale gas in the whole world

Shale gas which has been widely explored and developed in North America in recent years is a new nature gas source target. It has made a tremendous progress in unconventional nature gas exploration and development all over the world, and has become a typical unconventional nature gas resource which is the latest explored and the fastest development in the last year. Based on the course in North America and progresses in the world of shale gas exploration and development, this paper made an exposition of the main situation of shale gas exploration and development in the world and 5 typical geological characteristics of shale gas, and analyzed resource potential and distribution features of global shale gas, and forecasted 100×1012m3 of shale gas resource potential in China. Furthermore in the paper we also pointed out that the success of shale gas exploration and development in recent 10 years is the most stirring great achievement in oil-gas geological theories and engineering technologies. Shale gas resource is very abundant in the world. Its overall development would bring about a world-wide energy revolution. Finally the paper put forward four suggestions on speeding up shale gas development in China.
