July 16 "The seminar on "International Comparative Study on the Management of Mineral Rights and Environmental Regulation in the Process of Shale Gas Exploration and Development in Sichuan" was held at Southwest Petroleum University (SWPU) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and was chaired by Mr. He Sha, Deputy Director of SWPU. The seminar was hosted by He Sha, deputy departmental researcher of Southwest Petroleum University. The Consul General of the British Consulate General in Chongqing, Mr. Eppesi, the Director of the Mineral Resources Reserves Review Center of the Ministry of Land and Resources of China, Mr. Zhang Dawei, the Deputy Director of the Sichuan Energy Bureau, Mr. Li Mingliang, and the Deputy Director of the Scientific Research Department of the Southwest Petroleum University, Mr. Peng Jun, were present at the seminar.

According to the reporter's understanding, the subject of "International Comparative Study on the Management of Mineral Rights and Environmental Regulation in the Process of Exploration and Development of Shale Gas in Sichuan" is funded by the "China Prosperity Strategy Program Fund" established by the British government. The project is funded by the "China Prosperity Strategy Program Fund" set up by the British government, and is jointly carried out by Southwest Petroleum University, Britain Geological Survey, Gas Economics Research Institute of PetroChina Southwest Oil and Gas Field Branch, and China Energy Network.

At the seminar, Mr. He Sha introduced the basic situation of the project and the research framework, Ms. Eppesi delivered a speech on behalf of the British side, Mr. Zhang Dawei put forward a number of thoughts on the management of shale gas mining rights, and Mr. Li Mingli introduced the current situation of shale gas exploration and development in Sichuan. On behalf of the Chinese and British sides, Mr. He Sha, Deputy Departmental Researcher of Southwest Petroleum University, and Ms. Elspeth, Consul General of the British Consulate General in Chongqing, signed the contract of the China Prosperity Strategy Project Fund on behalf of the Chinese and British sides.

According to the conference information, Sichuan Province has the largest shale gas reserves in the country, but also an important region for the commercialization of shale gas exploration and development, shale gas industry is listed as a key priority for the development of high-end growth-oriented industries in Sichuan.

The study will draw on the relevant experience of the United Kingdom to provide policy recommendations to government departments, improve the management of mineral rights and environmental regulatory practices in the process of shale gas exploration and development in Sichuan, provide policy support for the State to explore and pilot a pilot area for the exploration and development of shale gas in southern Sichuan, and facilitate cooperation between Chinese and British enterprises in the oil and gas sector.

The British Consulate General in Chongqing is an active promoter of this research. The Consul General, Ms. Epps, said, "Promoting this research is a very important task, and we are very pleased to see that China and the UK are working together on a collaborative study, and that we have the support of government agencies at the national level as well as the strong support of the Sichuan Provincial Government. The British government believes that a low-carbon economy will be conducive to global prosperity. The development of shale gas is very beneficial to promoting low carbon emission reduction and jointly addressing climate change.

Zhang Dawei, director of the Mineral Resources Reserve Review Center of the Ministry of Land and Resources of the People's Republic of China, pointed out that to carry out this study, first, the topic is a good choice, the management of mineral rights and environmental regulation is the two core issues in the process of exploration and development of shale gas; secondly, the sample is a good choice, Sichuan is the richest shale gas in China; thirdly, the timing of the choice of the time is a good choice, the exploration and development of Sichuan shale gas after many years of practice, the management of mineral rights and the environmental regulation of the problem It is hoped that this study will achieve the expected results and promote the development of shale gas exploration and development in Sichuan. It is hoped that this study will achieve the expected results and promote the development of shale gas in China. Mr. Zhang gave constructive comments to the research team.

Mr. Li Mingliang, Deputy Director of the Sichuan Energy Bureau, said that the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government attach great importance to the development of shale gas, and hope that the exploration and development of shale gas will lead to related industries and fields, and that the study of this topic is very timely and necessary.

At the launching seminar, Ran Ze, Senior Researcher of China Energy Network Research Center, introduced the latest developments in the oil and gas industry. Dai Yong of Oil and Gas Division of PetroChina Sichuanqing Drilling and Exploration Engineering Co. Ltd, Wang Fengping of Geological Exploration Division of Sichuan Department of Land and Resources, Chen Xiaojun of Sichuan Provincial Party Committee's Policy Research Office, and Liu Zhibin, Professor of Faculty of Science, made speeches on the occasion. Zhou Yao, representative of the British Consulate General in Chongqing, summarized the meeting.

Experts from more than 10 units, including Development Research Center of Sichuan Provincial Government Research Office, Sichuan Academy of Environmental Protection Science, Research Institute of Safety, Environmental Protection and Technical Supervision of PetroChina Southwest Oil and Gas Field Company, Honghua Group Oil and Gas Engineering and Technical Services Company, and Southwest University of Petroleum, participated in the subject discussion meeting.
