Abstract: As clean energy,shale gas have gained widely attention in recent years.Successful experience in North American shale gas revolution,accelerates the pace of exploration and development of shale gas in global.China has huge energy demand on shale gas resource.But the shale gas industry of china is still in its infancy stage,and the successful experience in North America can be taken as reference for the development of the shale gas industry.Therefore,the history of the exploration and development of shale gas in North America is recalled,and the policy and the market environment for supporting the exploration of shale gas in North American are described.A contrast on the development status of shale gas industry in our country is made with the successful experience of American shale gas revolution.Several suggestions on the development of China's shale gas industry are given,including technique introduction jointing with innovation,idea changing in the subsidy,opening markets further,and implementation of legally quit for the conventional oil and gas blocks.Based on the situation of our resources,the geological conditions and the policy,and contrasting with the successful experience in exploration and development of shale gas at overseas,it is believed that China will has a good prospect in exploration and development of shale gas.
