美国以外的页岩气开发活动之所以进展缓慢,采矿权属政府所有、环保问题和缺乏钻探与运输油气的基础设施等都是其中原因。此外,相比钻探活动已进行了百余年的美国,世界上大多数国家对自己的地质情况了解甚少。
The upshot: the U.S. and Canada could remain the main countries to reap the economic advantages of shale development for some time. In both countries, a glut of natural gas and ethane is luring petrochemical companies and fertilizer manufacturers to build new plants─a huge change after years of shifting production abroad. Meanwhile, states like Texas and North Dakota that actually have the shale deposits are getting additional boosts to their local economies from drilling activity.
其结果是,一段时期内美国和加拿大可能仍将是获得页岩开发经济优势的主要国家。在这两个国家,供过于求的天然气和乙烷正吸引着石化公司和化肥生产商前来建厂,这是继多年来石化生产移至北美以外地区后的一个巨大转变。同时,像美国得克萨斯州和北达科他州等已探明页岩储藏的州,其经济得到了页岩钻探的额外提振。
Poland was once regarded as one of the more promising plays, but early wells have hit less gas than expected. In addition, community wariness of drilling and changes to the government's tax and royalty rules have dampened industry enthusiasm. Exxon Mobil Corp., XOM +0.02% an early proponent of Polish shale, decided to throw in the towel after drilling just two wells, saying it didn't find enough oil or gas to justify additional drilling.
