China's shale gas exploration in the southwest has achieved significant results, with estimated natural gas resources reaching 100 billion cubic meters, which is the first time that China has achieved a major breakthrough in shale gas exploration in a complex structural area outside the Sichuan Basin. Some experts say The site is expected to become a new industrial gas field, which can meet the gas needs of the millions of residents and the development of industry and agriculture, and promote economic development. The assumption of this expert opinion is that:. ['The complex geological structure in the south is conducive to natural gas generation.', 'Any natural gas that is explored can be successfully extracted.', "China's current natural gas production cannot meet actual demand.", 'Natural gas as clean energy is an important driving force for economic development.']
