The experience of shale gas low-cost development in America provided production organization and management methods including horizontal well drilling, cluster well drilling, pad drilling, batch drilling, factory drilling, and reservoir volume fracturing. The policy of finance and taxation has played a positive role in promoting and encouraging shale gas development. The development of shale gas in China is different from America in sides of resource features, development process, the technical levels and the policy environment. We should learn from the technical means, management method and encouraging fiscal and financial policy of low-cost development strategy of America, study and formulate policy suitable to China's own characteristics, to promote low-cost development of shale gas.
