Abstract: The major breakthrough made at the national shale gas demonstration zone in Fuling has a significant impact on China's shale gas industry. The ecological environment pollution and destruction in shale gas development process are beginning to drawing people' attention. In the case study on Fuling shale gas field, we analyzed the impact of shale gas development on the ecological environment in Fuling. The analysis reveals that the ecological impacts of shale gas development in Fuling mainly consist of destruction of arable land and vegetation,water pollution,noise pollution,air pollution,and drilling cuttings solidification and burial. Active and efficient measures with emphasis on both resource development and ecological protection must be taken through management innovation and technological innovation to minimize the impacts on ecological environment. We hope that this research will provide a model for green and highly efficient shale gas development in other blocks.
