摘      要：The Fuling Marine Shale Deposit contains vast gas resources. Due to tectonic activities, complex surface and geological conditions, significant differences make it unlike that of North America. Thus, it is not suitable to completely copy the technology and the development model from North America. Therefore we need engineering technology and a business development model fit for Fuling Shale Gas Development(FSGD). Through dif ficulties and characteristics analysis of the shale gas development area, we determined geological engineering design methods and integrated work flow, established a series of the core technologies, including horizontal well drilling with long laterals, staged fracturing and completion technology, developed main fluids, tools and equipment,put forward “well factory mode in mountain region and “full cycle learning and system optimization management methods. Break through was made in China s first largescale shale gas fields commercial development. By the end of 2014, production capacity reached 25 ? 108 m3/a, and cumulative gas production reached 12.24 ? 108 m3, which made a solid foundation to build production capacity of50 ? 108m3/a in 2015 and 100 ? 108m3/a in 2017. Not only has FSGD established a demonstration for the other shale gas fields development, but also will be taken as reference to other large and extra-large construction projects of the industry.
