作为全国重要的综合能源基地，山西拥有丰富的非常规天然气资源。记者18日从山西省统计局获悉，今年8月份山西非常规天然气产量达到16.8亿立方米，同比增长7.7%；前8个月非常规天然气累计产量达到133.2亿立方米，创历史同期产量新高。

As an important comprehensive energy base across the country, Shanxi Province possesses abundant unconventional natural gas resources. According to the statistics released by the Shanxi Provincial Bureau of Statistics on the 18th, in August this year, the output of unconventional natural gas in Shanxi reached 1.68 billion cubic meters, increasing by 7.7% compared to the previous year. In the first eight months, the cumulative output of unconventional natural gas reached 13.32 billion cubic meters, setting a new record for the same period in history.

非常规天然气是指那些在地下赋存状态和聚集方式与常规天然气藏具有明显差异的天然气，包括页岩气、致密砂岩气等。山西非常规天然气预测总资源量约20万亿立方米，约占全国天然气预测资源总量的8%。

Unconventional natural gas refers to those natural gas that exist in an underground state and are aggregated in a manner significantly different from that of conventional gas reservoirs, including shale gas and tight sandstone gas, etc. The predicted total resource volume of unconventional natural gas in Shanxi is approximately 20 trillion cubic meters, accounting for about 8% of the national predicted total natural gas resources.

近年来，山西省锚定非常规天然气这一重要突破口，集中力量攻克开发难题，在区块建设、技术革新等领域持续发力，推动非常规天然气实现增储上产加力提速。山西省能源局局长张翔表示，“十四五”期间，山西省累计建成6个10亿立方米级大型气田，建成全国最大中浅层煤层气田、最大深部煤层气田和全省首个大型整装致密气田，产业基础持续夯实。

In recent years, Shanxi Province has targeted unconventional natural gas as an important breakthrough point, concentrating its efforts on solving development challenges. It has continuously made efforts in areas such as block construction and technological innovation, promoting the increase in reserves and production of unconventional natural gas and accelerating its growth. Shanxi Province's Energy Bureau Director Zhang Xiang stated, "During the '14th Five-Year Plan' period, Shanxi Province has cumulatively built 6 large gas fields with a capacity of 1 billion cubic meters each. It has also established the largest medium and shallow coalbed methane field, the largest deep coalbed methane field, and the province's first large-scale outcropping tight gas field, continuously strengthening its industrial foundation.

今年是“十五五”开局之年，为实现非常规天然气资源优势转化为产业优势，山西将推动浅层煤层气稳产、深层煤层气上产、致密煤层气控减，分区分策提量上产，力争到“十五五”末，全省非常规天然气产量达到300亿立方米。

This year marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan period. To transform the resource advantages of unconventional natural gas into industrial strengths, Shanxi will promote stable production of shallow coalbed methane, increased output of deep coalbed methane, and controlled reduction of tight coalbed methane. By implementing differentiated regional strategies to boost production, the province aims to achieve a total unconventional natural gas output of 30 billion cubic meters by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan.
