这是第一篇回顾美国页岩气开发的经济、政策和技术历史的学术论文。这篇论文的主要目的是回答是什么导致了美国的页岩气热潮，以帮助那些试图开发本国页岩气资源的国家的利益相关者提供信息。本文还对技术创新的动机、过程、影响以及政府在推动能源行业技术创新中的作用进行了个案研究。我们的回顾发现，政府政策、私营企业、技术创新、私人土地和矿业权所有权、本世纪头十年的高天然气价格以及许多其他因素都对页岩气的繁荣做出了重要贡献。
This is the first academic paper that reviews the economic, policy, and technology history of shale gas development in the United States. The primary objective of the paper is to answer the question of what led to the shale gas boom in the United States to help inform stakeholders in those countries that are attempting to develop their own shale gas resources. This paper is also a case study of the incentive, process, and impact of technology innovations and the role of government in promoting technology innovations in the energy industry. Our review finds that government policy, private entrepreneurship, technology innovations, private land and mineral rights ownership, high natural gas prices in the 2000s, and a number of other factors all made important contributions to the shale gas boom.
