Abstract: Shale gas revolution makes exploration of non-conventional oil and gas resources in parallel with conventional oil and gas resources. Meanwhile, it also means a major breakthrough in traditional oil and gas geological and exploration theories. As for non-conventional oil and gas, "sourcing, reservoir, caprock, migration, accumulation and storage" are no longer regarded as guide to understand oil and gas existence. Identification and selection of traps are neither taken as the necessary process in exploration. The mindset for exploration experiences a revolutionary creation. The efforts will be focused on the "sweet spot" with integration of exploration and development at a high level so far as low-degree non-conventional oil and gas distributed in large areas are concerned. Attention should be paid to the characteristics of non-conventional oil and gas exploration and development so as to improve the theories and methods in this area. It is necessary to develop a series of technologies suitable for China's conditions in the efforts to promote the nation's non-conventional oil and gas development.

Key words: shale oil and gas, non-conventional oil and gas, oil and gas geology, oil and gas exploration, exploration process
