Description

Underground rotational flow sorting and separating device and method for natural gas hydrate
Technical Field
The invention relates to a natural gas hydrate underground cyclone sorting and separating device, and belongs to the technical field of natural gas hydrate exploitation.
Background
The clean natural gas hydrate is like ice and snow, can be directly ignited, and is commonly called as 'combustible ice'. The natural gas hydrate (combustible ice) is a white ice-snow-like crystal compound formed by natural gas (main component methane) and water under the condition of low temperature and high pressure, and has the characteristics of large reserve, wide distribution, shallow burial, high energy density and clean combustion. Widely distributed in sediments at the edge of the continental land, at the seabed and in permafrost areas, and is praised as one of new energy sources with the most application prospect in the future. The sea natural gas hydrate is widely distributed and has a large resource amount, is a substitute energy source for the conventional petroleum and natural gas in the future, and is scientifically researched and tried in many countries in the world at present.
The mainstream exploitation method of the natural gas hydrate comprises the following steps: depressurization, heat shock, CO2/N2 displacement, injection of inhibitors, solid state fluidization and combination of the above. The pressure reduction method has the lowest technical difficulty and cost, the solid fluidization method is adopted, and the rest methods have higher mining cost, high requirements on equipment and harsh construction conditions. In 2017, a first round of hypotensor trial production and a second round of hypotensor trial production are respectively carried out on the sea floors of 1266 m and 1225 m deep water in the sea area of the south China Hicishi fox, breakthrough progress is achieved, and the sea floors still face risks of damaging the environment and engineering geology. In the north litchi bay of south China sea in the same year, the sea oil successfully implements the solid-state fluidization pilot mining operation of the marine shallow non-diagenetic natural gas hydrate for the first time globally, the exploitation of the natural gas hydrate achieves breakthrough progress, and the elimination of environmental and engineering geological risks in the in-situ exploitation process of the natural gas hydrate is realized.
There have been many patents on the exploitation of natural gas hydrates:
according to patent CN112081559A, the device and the method for extracting natural gas hydrate by using depressurization and double-pipe injection modified fluid utilize an inner pipe column to carry out depressurization, air extraction and extraction on reservoir natural gas hydrate, and utilize the bottom of an outer shaft pipe column to arrange a sensor to storage conditions, thereby improving the permeability of the reservoir and ensuring the smoothness of a fluid flow channel and the smoothness of depressurization and gas extraction. However, the depressurization method is a weakening passive exploitation method, and has the disadvantages that the exploitation of natural gas is slow, and has certain limitations, and the separation and backfilling of silt mixed in the natural gas hydrate slurry cannot be realized, so that the exploitation cost of the natural gas hydrate is increased, and the silt is not separated and discharged to the seabed in time, so that the safety of the exploitation process cannot be ensured.
According to the natural gas hydrate thermal excitation method reaction device disclosed by the patent CN104196510A, the nano aluminum powder conveying pipeline and the gas collecting pipeline are arranged in the external guide pipe, and the ignition explosive is arranged at the front end of the nano aluminum powder conveying pipeline, so that the natural gas hydrate exploitation process is more flexible, and the exploitation efficiency of each vertical shaft is improved. However, the thermal shock method causes a great deal of heat loss and low heat utilization rate in the implementation process, which causes a great deal of energy waste, and simultaneously, the silt cannot be backfilled in time in the mining process, so that the safety and reliability in the mining process cannot be ensured.
Therefore, it is necessary to invent a natural gas hydrate downhole cyclone sorting and separating device to solve the above problems.
