    Abstract： Shale gas reservoirs have to be transformed by hydraulic fracturing to get industrial value of gas flow because of shale?蒺s low permeability. Artificial fractures resulted from hydraulic fracturing are main channels for shale gas production. Extension features of artificial fractures can be determined by means of fracture monitoring technologies， which are useful for fracturing design optimization and useful for optimizing management on shale gas production. Investigated and analyzed are relative information on shale gas in foreign literatures and results show that hydraulic fracture monitoring technologies used frequently for shale gas wells in other countries at present mainly include conventional near-wellbore fracture-diagnostic technique， microseismic monitoring technique， tiltmeter monitoring technique and distributed acoustic sensing （DAS） monitoring technique. Analyzed are adaptability and monitoring capability of these fracture monitoring technologies. Among these technologies， the conventional near-wellbore fracture-diagnostic technique is only used as a complementary method， the microseismic monitoring technique， widely used in shale gas well hydraulic fracturing at present， is the most accurate method. The tiltmeter monitoring technique is also used widely， but it can?蒺t be applied for deep wells. The distributed acoustic sensing （DAS） monitoring technique， used initially in field fracture monitoring in 2009， is still in its initial stage. Application of advanced fracture monitoring techniques to shale gas hydraulic fracturing will enhance the effectiveness and economical efficiency of hydraulic fracturing stimulation treatment.
