美国页岩气开发状况分析

ANALYSES OF THE DEVELOPMENT SITUATION OF THE UNITED STATES’ SHALE GAS

基于世界页岩气资源分布特征及状况,阐述了美国页岩气资源分布、勘探开发历程、产量、天然气价格、页岩气开发成本及面临的问题.在剖析美国巴耐特页岩气产区的储、产量和井型、井距情况后认为：美国在生产页岩气时实行了低成本战略;在天然气价格出现波动时的页岩气产量仍然保持增长趋势.

Based on the distribution characteristics and conditions of the world shale gas resources, the following investigations and studies are conducted and described for the resources distribution, exploration and development processes, production, price of the natural gas, development cost and problems faced at present of the United States shale gas. The analyses of the reserves, production, well types and spacing for Barnett shale gas developing block show that low-cost strategy is practiced in American shale gas production, and moreover the rising trend of the shale gas production has still being sustained even though the price fluctuation of the natural gas occurred.
