The results showed that firstly, shale-gas papers in Chinese are characterized by a limited number and a typical distribution of the initial research, indicating infancy for both the basic research and the exploration and development. Secondly, comprehensive analyses of geological conditions, reservoir elements and specific conditions of oil-gas provinces indicated that the southern region of the l:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />
