Core Insights - The project "National Shale Gas Key Investigation Area Strategic Mineral Survey and Evaluation" has successfully passed its results acceptance, establishing a geophysical comprehensive survey technology system for shale gas in southern strong transformation areas [1] Group 1: Project Overview - The project identified 20 favorable areas for shale gas in regions such as western Hubei-eastern Chongqing, western Sichuan, and central Hunan [1] - Shale gas is recognized as an important strategic mineral resource and has become a significant growth point for natural gas production in China [1] Group 2: Geological Investigations - The project team conducted extensive geological surveys, including 750 square kilometers of shale gas geological investigation, gas content testing, and seismic data collection [2] - Key geological features and sedimentary environments of various shale layers were systematically clarified, providing a scientific basis for future exploration [2] Group 3: New Discoveries - Significant discoveries include stable shale gas industrial flow of 4,234 cubic meters per day from the Yuwu-1 well in the eastern Chongqing area and high gas content shale from the EJB-2 well in western Hubei [2] - The findings support the construction of resource bases in regions such as western Hubei-eastern Chongqing and southwestern Sichuan-northeastern Yunnan [2] Group 4: Innovative Approaches - The project established targeted evaluation standards for shale gas in complex structural areas and proposed new geological understandings regarding shale gas accumulation [3] - The project also supported the Ministry of Natural Resources in the allocation of shale gas blocks and provided suggestions for exploration rights [3]

Core Viewpoint - The lecture by Guo Xusheng, a leading figure in oil and gas exploration, emphasized the strategic importance of deep earth exploration in China, highlighting significant breakthroughs in marine natural gas exploration and the need for independent innovation in the energy sector [3][11]. Group 1: Deep Earth Exploration - Deep earth refers to the solid earth beneath the shallow surface, which is difficult to access due to hard rocks and complex geological structures [4][5]. - China has identified 173 types of mineral resources in deep earth, with proven oil reserves of 1,257 million tons and natural gas reserves of 212 trillion cubic meters [5]. - The strategic importance of deep earth exploration was recognized in national policies, including the "13th Five-Year" plan, which elevated the research and development of deep earth resources to a new strategic level [5][6]. Group 2: Breakthroughs in Marine Natural Gas - The discovery of the Puguang gas field marked a significant turning point in China's marine natural gas exploration, with the first successful exploration occurring after extensive foundational research [9][10]. - The Yuanba gas field, discovered in 2007, is the world's first ultra-deep marine bio-reef gas field, with proven reserves of 219.5 billion cubic meters [10][11]. - The development of marine gas fields is crucial for China's energy strategy, as 90% of the world's oil and gas reserves come from marine sedimentary basins [7][8]. Group 3: Shale Gas Development - The shale gas revolution has transformed the global energy landscape, prompting China to focus on independent innovation in shale gas exploration [11][12]. - The Fuling shale gas field has produced over 70 billion cubic meters of gas since its discovery, contributing significantly to China's natural gas supply [14]. - The successful development of shale gas has positioned China as the second country after North America to achieve commercial shale gas production [14][15].
