Abstract: The new model for key part of shale gas geological engineering integration organically unites the four main engineering systems of drilling, completion renovation, production and development. Based on the model shared by the cross-disciplinary departments, this paper summarizes engineering application of the four main systems from the angles of single well, platform and full gas field. It reviews the present conditions and developments of both domestic and foreign unconventional reservoir modeling and numerical simulation, focusing on 3D modeling, fracturing simulation and numerical simulation. The paper points out that China is an industrial leader in such areas as application of geophysical data, modeling in time, gas field size integration sharing model, full gas field numerical simulation, and various applications of the four main systems. The North America is more concentrated on mechanism study, basic mathematical modeling, research on modeling method and new numerical simulation technology, and fine parameters of size platform. This paper analyzes the current key realistic challenges in five areas -- quantitatively characterizing complicated natural fracture system, integrity of wellbore, plane (solid) infill well or solid well spacing, full shale gas field numerical simulation, and dynamic and gas states of wellbore. It also elaborates the main research orientation and mindset.
