There are a total of 233 countries and regions in the worldDifferent countries have completely different economic development due to geographical factors or historical factors, and some countries have made a fortune by relying on rich treasures, which is what we call relying on God to eat.
Among them is the world's fourth-largest natural gas exporterBruneiNot only that, but it is also a Southeast Asian oil export, and it is really a "pocket" small country that is so rich that it is full of oil.
And when it comes to the luckier countries, there areUAE and Saudi ArabiaThese two oil countries were originally just obscure small countries in the Middle East, but in the 40s of the last century, these two countries discovered oil in turn, and they also gained more and more wealth by selling oil.
Not long ago, China's Ministry of Natural Resources announced a news that shocked the world.
The new proven reserves of Fuling shale gas have reached1048.8.3 billion cubic meters, the cumulative proven reserves are close900 billion cubic metersThis news marks a new step in China's energy developmentOr it will become the next "Saudi second".
Saudi Arabia, a country in the Far East, is famous all over the world because of its rich oil resources and various types of news, and there is also a "stalk" circulating on the Internet, a piece of cloth on the head, I am the richest in the world.
Saudi Arabia, which lacks water, is not only a vast country, but also has very rich resources in that vast land, not only that, Saudi Arabia also has the world's largest oil reserves, and the quality of their oil is also very high, coupled with low extraction costs, they can be said to occupy a place in the market, and Saudi Arabia has become a veritable "oil power".
In addition to oil resources, the SaudisNatural gas, copper mines, coalThe reserves of other mineral resources also occupy a certain position in the world.
For developed countries, rare earth resources are beyond their reach, fortunately, our country is a big country of rare earth resources, there is still such a good talk:"There is oil in the Middle East, and there are rare earths in China".
However, now inFuling, Chongqing, ChinaDiscover a resource more precious than rare earths, which has always been a coveted resource in the United States.
It's shale gas, and it's a non-renewable resource, just like oil.
Every rare resource on the earth needs to be accumulated over tens of millions of years of precipitation, and the corpses of trees, animals and plants continue to accumulate, and then after a series of reactions such as high temperature and high pressure, rare resource oil fields and gas fields are gradually formed.
Undoubtedly, shale gas is also a non-renewable resource, and the Chongqing Fuling shale gas field is the first large-scale shale gas field to enter commercial development in China.
Fuling shale gas is an unconventional natural gas embedded in shale rocks, and the formation process involves the flow, adsorption and analysis process of natural gases.
Some people may wonder what shale gas does when oil is used as a fuel resource to allow cars to run and large machines to run
As a clean energy source, shale oil and gas has a very wide range of application prospects, it can not only replace natural gas for heating, fuel power generation can also be used in industry, agriculture, and even household use.
Not only that, shale oil and gas are cleaner when burned, it does not have gas like coal combustion, and it is also prone to gas poisoning, and it is also safer than natural gas and is not easy to occur**.
China's discovery of a large amount of shale gas in Fuling can be said to be an important part of the future energy independence, and the application of this resource is also the general trend.
You know, in the long history, our lives are inseparable from coal, and there are still memories of burning coal for heating for the previous generations.
In the past, people used coal as fuel for cooking, boiling water, heating in winter, bathing, etc., and it was difficult to survive the winter without coal in the ice and snow, and it was difficult to survive the day without coal.
But with the passage of time, the demand for coal is getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of mining has also become larger, but because coal is a non-renewable resource, there is no more after mining, and then in order to protect resources, many places have banned the mining of coal, and mining must be affirmed by relevant departments.
In 2020, the relevant departments of Beijing Coal Group decided to gradually suspend the production of Changgouyu Coal Mine, Da'anshan Coal Mine and Datai Coal Mine.
As the use of coal declines, new resources such as natural gas and shale gas will emerge, and although natural gas is more commonly used today, shale gas will become the next alternative.
The world's shale oil and gas reserves are about 457 trillion cubic meters, which is similar to conventional natural gas, of which the United States has detected 48 states, there are a large number of shale gas, and has been exploited since the 40s of the 20th century, and today, the United States shale gas production accounts for 30% of the total natural gas.
Look at China's Fuling shale oil and gas production has exceeded15000 tonsWith a cumulative gas production of more than 900 billion cubic meters, it has become the world's second largest shale gas field, and has now been supplied to dozens of cities along the Yangtze River.
The main component of shale gas is methane, which has commercial value in its own right, and is a natural gas that can replace fuels such as oil, which is also used to produce stoneOil products, including gasoline and dieselWait.
The groundbreaking discovery has led one to wonder if Chongqing's Fuling could hopefully become the next Saudi Arabia.
First of all, it is very difficult to develop shale gas fields, and while attaching importance to environmental protection, the exploitation is also very large.
Due to the geological influence of Fuling, it is necessary to use drilling fluids with excellent lubrication properties to reduce the progress of low drilling in shale gas and oil, which is also a big test for employees.
There is also the local safety issue, Fuling's shale gas is mainly distributed in Chongqing, Sichuan and other places, which belong toGust Landform ZoneThe soil is relatively loose, coupled with the abundant precipitation, flood control has become an important work.
There is also the problem of environmental pollution, which produces a large amount of polluted wastewater in the process of extracting shale oil and gas, and how to deal with this wastewater has become a difficult problem.
In addition, the exploitation itself has certain risks, and the above reasons are enough to show that the difficulty of exploitation is still very large, although the development of shale gas fields can solve our energy problems, but still face many problems.
However, with the development of science and technology, continuous innovation of exploitation technology, and at the same time do a good job in safety and environmental protection issues can truly achieve the sustainable development of shale oil and gas.
