Fundamental significance of gas shale theoretical research

Gas shale, as a new filed of oil and gas exploration, has been attracting worldwide attention and plays an important role in enhancing the amount of the natural gas production of China. According to the result of systematic analysis and research, the research of gas shale not only possesses significance in the field of energy, but also is fundamental to such aspects as energy, geology, and environment. Since research on gas shale is a multidisciplinary and interfiled engineering, systematic method combined with geology engineering and environmental protection including systematic research on sedimentary mineral deposits and low temperature controlling mineral deposits should be adopted.
