sedimentary rocks with gas
trapped in them. Shale has low
permeability and gas does not
flow through it easily.

30. China â preparing for opportunity
Chinese policymakers and state behemoths are laying the groundwork to begin
extracting the countryâs apparently mighty shale gas resources.
China has set itself an ambitious target of producing 229.5 billion cubic feet of shale gas a year
by 2015.
31. China activities for shale gas production
Before 2004 - Study foreign shale gas exploration technology
From 2005 to 2007: Shale gas resource exploitation.
In 2008: Exploitation of the Upper Yangtze region and
planning shale gas project.
In 2009: Evaluating shale gas resource potential and defining
favorable exploration targets in key areas.
In 2011: Defining areas of probable shale gas reserves in
China
June 2011, China conducted the first round of shale gas
exploration competitive bidding and invited six state-owned
enterprises to participate in bidding.
32. Main players in China shale market
Sinopec Group, China's second largest oil and gas producer, has
launched its first shale gas project and plans to develop production
capacity of 300-500 million cubic meters a year by the end of this yeard
In January 2010, Sinopec and BP cooperated to develop a shale gas
block in Guizhou.
Yanchang Petroleum has drilled 12 exploration wells and evaluation
wells, strives to produce 20 million cu m/year of gas by 2012, and aims
to produce 500 million cu m/year by 2015.
CNPC started shale gas exploration and development in 2006,
becoming the first Chinese company to begin work in the sector.
CNPC has obtained North Yunnan-Guizhou mineral rights and drilled a
shale gas data well in the Sichuan basin in 2009.
In March 2010, CNPC and Schlumberger signed a 2010-12 cooperation
agreement on logging services.
In April 2011, CNPC and Total SA agreed to invest $2 billion in Inner
Mongolia Province to develop unconventional gas.
33. India â Shale of the century?
Excitement about a potential Indian shale gas boom is building. As yet, there is not
enough evidence to justify the hype.

⢠Decrease gas prices;
⢠Collect more taxes;
⢠Become more independent from import;
⢠Attract investments;
⢠Create new jobs and new industry;
55. Bulgaria - after a nationwide protest in January
2012, the government decided to ban the hydraulic
fracturing technology.
Denmark - a critical view is reflected in national
media, and national campaigns against shale gas
have started.
France - Hydraulic fracturing was banned in France
in 2011 after public pressure.
UK - Though not officially suspended, the process
was unofficially suspended for nearly a year in the
UK from June 2011 over safety concerns, but an
expert report in April 2012 said that itâs safe
US - This method of drilling has become
controversial because of the complaints, from
some residents of the areas, about pollution, and
health effects, and a sense that their lives and their
community have been ruined by the system.
64. EUROPE
âEurope, with higher population
density, higher environmental
hurdles and increased levels of
government coordination, will likely
see a âshale evolutionâ. Europe will
require more environmentally
friendly materials and more advanced
horizontal drilling technology.
The net effects are:
⢠A flatter geology-specific shale
gas learning curve.
⢠Slower aggregate growth in
proved reserves and production.
⢠A more R&D focused approach
with longer play timelines. â
Delloite.
65. CHINA
âChinaâs lower population density in regions with shale gas
potential, less restrictive environmental concerns, centralized
government planning and willingness to invest enables replication of
the US manufacturing-style shale development. The likely result will
be a âshale revolutionâ as China progresses rapidly along the shale
gas learning curve.â
Delloite.
66. SOUTH AMERICA
ââShale reserves in Brazil are estimated to
be one of the biggest in the region, but
there has been little interest or investment
in exploring this resource. Argentina is the
only South American country that seems
set to embark on full-scale shale gas
production, primarily in the NeuquĂŠn Basin.
Development of shale gas in Argentina will
be valuable to the country and occur at
reasonable prices. Further, given the
Argentine government's willingness to
support these projects, we expect that
shale gas field development will continue to
be allowed.â
KPMG
67. Many ways Australia is in a similar emerging position
to where the North American shale industry was
several years ago. As the resource in Australia
becomes better defined and clear routes to market
identified, then the transaction values could increase
significantly.
