Through comparison analysis of shale gas accumulation conditions and the similarity of geological conditions in the U.S.A and China,this study concluded that both countries have similar geological conditions favorable for shale gas accumulation and have approximate shale gas resource reserves and development potentials.In general,the gas-bearing shale layers in China possess high TOC,high thermal maturity and a high degree of later reformation.Shale gas accumulations are characterized by terrestrial facies deposit,controlled by sedimentation region division,and various and complicated distribution.Shale gas accumulations can be classified into direct and indirect types,and also can be divided into three types as southern type,northern type and north-western type according to the regional geologic conditions in China.The southern type of shale gas,distributed around the Yangtze plate,is mostly accumulated in the Paleozoic marine shale which experienced intensive structural reformation,and is featured by a large thickness of a single layer,multiple developed layers,a wide distribution area,high thermal maturity,and a high degree of later reformation,etc.The northern type of shale gas,distributed in the north China plate,is mostly accumulated in the groups from Paleozoic via Mesozoic to Neozoic,and is characterized by sedimentary migration,a high frequency of thin interbedded layers,and an obvious division between sedimental facies.The north-western type of shale gas,distributed around the Tarim Plate,is accumulated in the groups from Paleozoic to Mesozoic,and has the characteristics of various types of sedimentation,high TOC,and relatively low thermal maturity.It is concluded that the recoverable shale gas resources is predicated to be about 26 tcm in China,close to 28 tcm of that in the U.S.A.
