Abstract: The Zhaotong National Shale Gas Demonstration Zone is different from the explored and developed blocks in North America and the Sichuan Basin where shale gas has been successfully developed. It is characterized by complex geology, mountainous landform, high difficulty in drilling and production engineering, high operation cost, high-level safety and environment management and high risks in shale gas development. According to the development concept of “ensuring the quality and promoting the production by integrated technologies, and increasing the efficiency and improving the benefit by innovative management model”, the IPDP (Integrated Project Development by Production) high-efficiency development model which is suitable for the marine mountain shale gas in South China was proposed. The IPDP model is based on exploration-development integration, geology-engineering integration and research-production integration, and it is technically supported by the IPMP (Integrated Project Management by Production) model and geology & engineering teams. In this model, the life-cycle integrated project organization and implementation is carried out according to the working mechanism of “beneficial production as the target, engineering technology as the support, reverse thinking based design, positive organization and implementation, and factory-like operation”. In this way, the drilling and production engineering quality and well production rate of mountain shale gas are controlled all through the process from the aspects of research and evaluation, field production and implementation, and project organization and management. By virtue of the turnkey model of integrated risk project which is linked to individual-well gas production rate, the sense of responsibility for beneficial production is enhanced and the production organization is optimized, so that each link is seamlessly connected, operation efficiency is effectively increased, the cost is decreased, the benefit is increased, the development risk is avoided, and implementation result is remarkable. It provides valuable references for the high-efficient development of marine mountain shale gas in South China.
