Abstract—To maintain economic growth, nations explore new energy sources for energy independence. The US initiated the shale oil and gas revolution, leading to self-sufficiency and exports oil and gas. This prompted China to emulate the US to meet gas needs and reduce pollution by replacing coal with shale gas. However, transferring an economic experiment depends on various factors. This study compares the American and Chinese experiences, highlighting that in China, government control provides environmental benefits but may slow production growth. In the US, private companies contribute to energy security, but the government lacks authority over production during price hikes. Factors such as geological complexity and R&D spending are crucial in developing the shale gas industry, influencing its future in China.

Keywords—shale industry, energy, greenhouse gas, geology
