Technological Uncertainties技术不确定因素 • Conventional gas – • Will you find hydrocarbons? • Shale gas • What is the best completion technology • How will production rate decline over time? • Environmental impact http://www.online-advice-service.com/environment/archives/479
Shale Gas Challenges 页岩气挑战 • Large water needs • Water contamination risks • Surface spills • Fracking contamination • Rugged surface terrain • Frack design • Economics • Lack of gas pipelines
Fracking 压裂 • Fracking: about 20 million liters of water per well • Concerns about water disposal • Poor well cement jobs can cause problems • Shales in China tend to have more clay than in U.S. • Possible future fracking technologies • More recycled water, new water treatment methods • Replace most water with fine flowing particles • Fracking computer simulations http://www.technologyreview.com/news/508146/china-has-plenty-of-shale-gas-but-it-will-be-hard-to-mine/ http://www.technologyreview.com/news/428076/can-fracking-be-cleaned-up/
