【 摘 要 】

The rapid development of natural gas lays the foundation for the unconventional gas development. In 2015, unconventional natural gas production is 44.9Bcm, accounting for 34.06% of total natural gas production. Increasing demand of natural gas provides a wide developing space for unconventional natural gas. China has deployed unconventional natural gas resource evaluation to different extent, which mainly includes tight gas, CBM and shale gas. Unconventional gas E&P in China is still in its initial stage. By 2015, 1.6 Tcm proved reserves and 36 Bcm production has made China tight gas entering a large scale and commercializing stage. CBM development is still in the initial stage of E&P, with less reserve and production, in the early stage for commercialized development. Shale gas has a significant breakthrough since its proved reserves reached to 544.1Bcm, and production reached to 4.5Bcm. At present, conventional gas develops rapidly in China. During the next 5-10 years, it will also take the dominant position in the natural gas development. Unconventional gas will play a more and more important role in the long-term development of natural gas.
