EIA：中國是北美以外w*擁有極其豐富頁巖天然氣資源的國家

中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國合眾國際社10月24日華盛頓報道，美國能源部能源信息署(EIA)在23日發(fā)表的一份報告中表示，美國和加拿大是q*w*兩個生產(chǎn)商業(yè)數(shù)量頁巖天然氣的國家。

EIA在報告中說，去年，美國平均日產(chǎn)257億立方英尺頁巖天然氣，加拿大去年平均日產(chǎn)140億立方英尺頁巖天然氣，。

報告說，幾乎所有的美國頁巖天然氣產(chǎn)量來自美國中部的5個地區(qū)，而加拿大近15%的頁巖天然氣產(chǎn)量來自BC省北部和Montney盆地的Muskwa-Otter Park頁巖地層。

EIA在報告中說，中國是北美以外地區(qū)w*擁有極其豐富頁巖天然氣資源的國家。然而，中國目前的頁巖天然氣產(chǎn)量只占到該國天然氣總產(chǎn)量的1%，這個比例在美國和加拿大分別為39%和15%。

Only U.S., Canada produce commercial quantities of shale natural gas

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- The United States and Canada are the only countries producing commercial quantities of shale natural gas, a U.S. energy agency said.

Last year, U.S. production averaged 25.7 billion cubic feet per day and Canada produced an average of 14 billion cubic feet per day, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said.

Nearly all of the U.S. production came from five areas in the central United States and approximately 15 percent of Canada's production came from the Muskwa-Otter Park shale formation in northern British Columbia and the Montney basin, the agency said.

The EIA, in a report Wednesday, said China is the only country outside of North America that has reported lucrative deposits of shale natural gas. Shale gas in China, however, accounts for 1 percent of its total natural gas production, compared with 39 percent for the United States and 15 percent for Canada.
