Chapter 599: Shale gas revolution

"Shale Gas Revolution! The gorgeous turn of the US energy structure! ", The website's most striking position is so impressively written that such a surprising headline, even the recently popular Lv Qiujian wedding news was overwhelmed by this article below.

What is shale gas? In professional terms, it is biogenic or thermal natural gas that is stored in organic-rich mud shale and its interlayers mainly in the form of adsorption and free; in the words that are more acceptable to everyone, it is that oil and gas are caused by The shale is generated and then transferred to sandstone, limestone and other reservoirs to be preserved. Those stored in the mezzanine are oil and natural gas that have been mined for more than 100 years and provide direct power for human industrial processes.

Now, after a long time of exploitation, those oil and gas that are located in the interlayer and are more convenient for mining have already been explored by humans! According to the reserves that have been explored so far, the blood circulation cannot be used for decades, and the proven oil reserves cannot meet human needs! So people began to wonder, since there is oil in the interlayers of shale, is there oil and natural gas in the shales that make up these interlayers?

This is like putting flour in a cloth pocket. After pouring the flour out and patting the noodle pocket, there will always be a lot of flour sticking to the cloth pocket. If you accumulate less, this is also a big gain.

For this reason, experts in related fields have explored shale oil and gas, and they are surprised to find that there are really a lot of oil and natural gas stored in the shale, which is sufficient for human use for many years in the future. Mined, then the energy crisis facing mankind can go backwards again! However, due to the dense structure of shale, it has become extremely difficult to extract shale oil and gas. With the current exploration of oil and natural gas to meet human needs, many countries lack increased investment in shale oil and gas exploration technology!

However, there will always be some people walking in front of others! Like most technological breakthroughs since the last century. This shale gas revolution is still erupting in the United States! In 1997, the hydraulic fracturing stimulation technology was completed; in 1999, the multiple fracturing stimulation technology was mature; in 2002. The horizontal well drilling technology was invented; in 2005, the horizontal well staged fracturing technology directly led to the explosion of shale gas production efficiency!

This series of technological advances has directly increased the shale gas production in the United States from 2.2 billion cubic meters in 1999 to 5.6 billion cubic meters in 2008. In just ten years, production has increased more than 25 times.

The consequence of the shale gas revolution is to make the rice people's dependence on traditional energy sources such as oil and coal greatly reduced, and the proportion of natural gas in the total energy consumption of the country has risen rapidly.

From the perspective of energy security, the Americans have richer energy reserves, and their dependence on overseas oil has been greatly weakened. They now only need to import oil from several core countries such as Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico to meet the basic domestic needs. Demand! No longer need to get involved in the more sensitive oil country, the national energy security has been effectively guaranteed.

From the perspective of international politics, the Americans can be said to be free from the influence of OPEC. They no longer need to burn countless dollars on the deserts of the Middle East because of oil. They can use more relaxed methods to deal with the problems in the Middle East. In the future, the withdrawal of the US from Iraq and the planning of color revolutions in several Middle Eastern countries can be said to have been affected by the shale gas revolution. If not, they are unlikely to hope that the Middle East will become chaotic in the future.

But what is the relationship between these and the Chinese state? This is why Qin Feng asked Lu Qiujian to read this article! Hua Guo is a country where the demand for overseas oil is higher than that of Rice. Hua Guo has now become the largest buyer in the international crude oil market! As long as there are oil anywhere in the world, Chinese people can almost be seen. In order to ensure domestic energy security, China consumes a lot of money, and it seems to be very handicapped in the handling of international affairs. From time to time, it has to be forced to accept certain Malicious extortion of the country!

In this article, I listed a few cases of China ’s loss in overseas oil procurement to illustrate how painful it is that energy is controlled by people! The article seems quite normal until here, reflecting the author's outstanding professional quality and a sincere patriotic heart.

However, the next article took a 180-degree turn. Start to question the technology development strategy of Hua Guo! Point the spear at Lu Qiujian! Compared with the illusory space exploration plan, it seems that this shale gas exploitation technology should be more invested by China.

According to the latest survey data, Huaguo has nearly 100 billion cubic meters of shale gas and more than 15 billion tons of shale oil reserves. If the funds of Xihe Project are used for the development of shale oil and gas technology, with the successful experience of the American people, it is presumed that it will not take long to master this advanced technology!

By that time, China's energy security can no longer be controlled by others, and relying solely on domestic reserves can meet demand! Although Xihe plan also plays a very important role in the long run ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, is the matter in front of you the most urgent? If China ’s energy security is not guaranteed, what if it can successfully land on the moon?

Finally, the author used a very sensational tone to call for Lu Qiujian to temporarily cut the funds for Xi and the plan, and handed over these funds to the shale oil and gas production technology research department. Just to say one thing, Professor Lu. Please slow down, wait for the people of China!

If it is a direct attack on Lu Qiujian's research. Many senior netizens have not responded to this article because of his repeated qualifications and plans for Nobel Prize winners in the past two years. However, taking the shale gas revolution of the United States as an entry point, the author of this article did not question the great significance of Lu Qiujian's professional skills and Xi and plan, he just used this article to create a point of view: space exploration is certainly important , But the immediate threat needs to be resolved as soon as possible!

Space exploration technology is too far away from ordinary people, and oil and natural gas are inseparable from almost everyone. When you think of mature shale oil and gas exploration technology, you can save a lot of money by refueling every month! So many netizens have joined in supporting this article.

No wonder Qin Feng will have a headache! In the face of such articles, it is really not a good rebuttal, we can't tell netizens that some of the plans are actually to study controlled nuclear fusion! (To be continued.)
