就在国内外市场纷纷对页岩气业务避之唯恐不及的情况下,中国石化却逆势而为,大举开发涪陵页岩气田。中国石化认为,这不仅是因为涪陵页岩气的资源储量远好于预期,而且通过技术创新大大降低了成本。更重要的是,中国石化上游资源匮乏,页岩气作为资源战略的重要增长点,是中国石化未来的发展方向。美国与中国的页岩气发展无论在发展阶段还是特点上都不尽相同,2014年美国页岩气的产值是3000亿美元(约合18626.10亿元人民币),中国2015年才不到60亿元, At a time when the domestic and foreign markets are not afraid of shale gas business, Sinopec has been aggressively developing the Fuling shale gas field. Sinopec believes it is not only because resources in Fuling shale gas are much better than expected, but also greatly reducing costs through technological innovation. More importantly, there is a lack of upstream resources in Sinopec Corp. and shale gas as an important growth point of its resource strategy, which is the future direction of Sinopec Corp.’s development. The development of shale gas in the United States and China varies from development stage to characteristics. In 2014, the output value of shale gas in the United States was 300 billion U.S. dollars (about 186.261 billion yuan), while in China, it was less than 6 billion yuan in 2015 ,
