Abstract

China holding the world largest shale resources, has been trying to develop their domestic shale gas fields mainly with its NOCs. Chinese shale industry looks likely to have high potential to grow in the future, considering the eager support of Chinese government and the rapid development of relevant technologies by NOCs. However, there are opposite opinions as well that Chinese shale gas could not play a positive short-term results because of the complexity of structural geology, inadequacy of water resources and related infrastructure. Recently, Korean companies began to be interseted in Chinese shale gas industry, because of the special relationships with Korean industries in terms of geographic proximity and better opportunities due to the early phase of shale gas business in China. In this study, it was tried to help those companies looking out of future Chinese shale gas industry that surveying current status and problems of Chinese shale gas industry and relevant industries and investigating some trials and policies driven by China government. As a result, the various and long-term problems in Chinese shale development were reviewed and the active supports and polices of Chinese government, NOC's trials for establishments of their independent technologies and the cooperation with foreign companies or M&As were also investigated.

세계 최대 셰일가스 부존국가인 중국은 자국 국영기업을 중심으로 셰일가스 자원의 개발과 기술 확보에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 중국의 셰일산업은 정부의 적극적인 지원과 기술적인 측면에서의 빠른 성장세를 감안할 때 향후 발전 가능성은 높은 것으로 보이나, 복잡한 지질구조와 상대적으로 심부에 위치한 셰일지층의 특성과 수자원, 인프라 부족 등과 같은 문제점으로 인해 단기적인 발전은 어렵다는 분석도 동시에 있다. 중국은 우리와의 지정학적으로 밀접한 관계는 물론 셰일가스 산업이 아직 초기단계에 있어, 최근 국내에서도 관련기업들을 중심으로 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는, 중국 셰일자원 개발산업과 유관산업의 현황과 문제점 및 중국정부를 중심으로 한 해결 노력과 지원정책 등을 조사, 분석하여 우리기업들이 중국 셰일산업의 미래를 조망하는데 도움을 주고자 하였다. 나아가 향후 중국 셰일산업의 발전에 따른 영향과 우리의 대처, 협력 및 참여 방안 수립에 참고가 되고자 하였다. 결과적으로, 본 연구에서는 중국의 셰일가스 개발을 위한 다양한 문제점을 검토하고, 중국정부의 정책적 지원, 국영기업의 독자적 기술 확보에 대한 노력과 해외기업과의 협력 추진 및 해외자산 인수 등 다양한 분야의 활동을 조사, 분석하여 제시하였다.
