China Set Target For Shale Gas Production by 2015: KuicK Research

June 19, 2012 - PRLog -- According to recent research report “China Shale Gas Market Analysis” published by KuicK Research, China has set target for shale gas production by 2015. Shale gas, a recent inclusion in the Chinese economy, has been given top most priority in the 12th Five Year Plan in 2011 among the development of other unconventional sources of energy. China is looking to develop its reserves at a fast pace to augment its growth and reduce its dependence on natural gas imports.

Innumerable reports have suggested that China is sitting on the world’s largest technically recoverable shale gas reserve. Chinese shale gas estimates surpass even that of North America and will be sufficient for the next 60 years at the current Reserve to Production (R/P) ratio. If estimates are to be believed then this 1,275 Trillion Cubic Feet of shale gas reserves found in China will last for about 300 years at the present rate of production and consumption. Since Chinese shale gas scenario is in its early years, the future is large and as of now looks promising. The practical production currently is zero, with a couple of experimental wells producing only 10,000 meters of gas per day but nothing substantial

“China Shale Gas Market Analysis” research report is a detailed literature on the infant Chinese shale gas market and its potential, with a sneak peek into the technology used to exploit shale gas reserves and the Chinese and global companies working overtime to tap into this potential.
