TY - JOUR AU - Deng, Sunhua AU - Sun, Youhong AU - Guo, Wei PY - 2026 TI - Innovative technologies for shale oil and gas exploration and development JO - Advances in Geo-Energy Research SN - 2207-9963 SP - 97 EP - 100 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Against the backdrop of global low-carbon energy transition, the green, economical, and efficient development of shale oil and gas resources faces a series of challenges in theoretical frameworks, technological costs, low-carbon innovation, and engineering management. To foster technological independence and advance low-carbon development through academic exchange, the 6th International Symposium on Shale Oil and Gas Exploration, Development, and Utilization Technology was held by Jilin University in Changchun, China, from November 7 to 9, 2025. This symposium gathered over 270 experts and scholars from more than 50 institutions worldwide featuring 61 presentations spanning geological theory, intelligent exploration, drilling and completion technologies, in-situ conversion, pyrolysis mechanisms, enhanced recovery, and low-carbon strategies. The discussions underscored a decisive shift towards intelligent, integrated, and green technological solutions, highlighting the critical role of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and carbon management in field advancement. This event significantly strengthened the industry-academia-research-application collaboration system, providing important momentum for achieving technological independence and driving the shale industry towards a sustainable and secure energy future.
