摘要China is abandant in shale gas resources. Encouraged by the successful development of
shale gas resources in the U. S., China began its shale gas research and exploration activity about
10 years ago. This paper briefed the history, state quo and future of shale gas development in the
country. Factors that constrain the shale gas industry there include technology limitations, attitude
of the government, environmental concerns and etc. The future of the shale gas industry in China
depends heavily on how well these issues are dealt.
