Abstract
With the help of Chinese Journal Fulltext Database, we download the papers about shale gas in these years after analyzing the contents. The main products are highlighted. Then, the theories and techniques which can not be solved easily are studied and the solutions are proposed. Finally, several suggestions are given to develop the shale gas well. The thesis shows that the scholars in China research a lot in resource potential of shale gas and the fruit always reflects in accumulation conditions, however, its assessment system needs to be perfected; In terms of well drilling technology, the researchers refer to the methods about exploiting the conventional reservoir and some key technologies are not be known well, just as the staged fracturing of horizontal well; In the way of making supporting policies, the institutionalization and standardization in management are not formed. Aiming at these difficulties, we should strengthen resource evaluation, speed up scientific and technological research, develop experience sharing and make policy system, so that the way in exploitation of shale gas can be more faster and smoothly.
