Abstract: Shale gas development strategy has important practical significance to solve the shortage of energy,to optimize energy structure,to alleviate pressure of reducing emissions and to achieve green development.Chongqing as the main area of China's shale gas development is rich in shale gas resources,the amount of shale gas resource ranked third in our country.This paper reviews the research progress of shale gas exploration blocks in Chongqing area,and noted the presence problem,including shale gas resources is unclear, "the exhaustive flowering" is difficult,imperfect support policies,environmental pressure,natural gas pricing mechanism unreasonable,technical services market is not perfect during shale gas industrialization.For some of the existing problems,making a series of suggestions,such as increasing investment;promoting the constructing of Fuling shale gas demonstration area;making clear policy support direction;building environment evaluation index,strengthening environmental regulation;exploring new ideas to reduce costs;fostering technical services markets.
