最近笔者一直在思考这样一个问题:页岩气革命证明,页岩气的分布是广泛的,主要技术也不是全新的,为什么页岩气革命只发生在美国,而不是在世界的其他地方呢?欧洲一家能源研究机构分地下和地面以上两组因素对比了欧洲与美国的异同。地下因素主要指储层条件和技术可能和可行,地面因素主要是指区块获得的难易、平均单位面积的人口密度、企业家精神、专业社会分工和石油服务人才和力量是否 Recently, I have been thinking about such a question: the shale gas revolution has proved that the distribution of shale gas is widespread and that the major technologies are not entirely new.

An energy research institute in Europe compares the similarities and differences between Europe and the United States on the basis of two factors above and below ground.

The ground factors mainly refer to the difficulty of acquiring blocks, the average density of population per unit area, entrepreneurial spirit, professional social division of labor and oil service personnel and strength
