Description

Natural gas hydrate exploitation methane leakage simulation system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of marine natural gas hydrate development, in particular to a system and a method for simulating methane leakage in natural gas hydrate exploitation.
Background
The natural gas hydrate is a cage-shaped crystalline compound generated from natural gas and water under the conditions of low temperature and high pressure, is like ice and snow in appearance, and can be burnt when meeting fire, and is commonly called as 'combustible ice'. 1m in the Standard State3The natural gas hydrate can release 164-200 m3The natural gas of (1). The natural gas hydrate has extremely high energy density, and the combustion heat value of the unit volume of the natural gas hydrate is 10 times that of coal and 2-5 times that of the traditional natural gas hydrate. More than 90% of natural gas hydrates exist mainly in sediment layers of marine continental shelves in nature and are widely distributed, and the natural gas hydrates are found in at least 116 areas so farThe total natural gas reserve in the former global natural gas hydrate mineral reservoirs is about 1015-1018 standard cubic meters, and the organic carbon accounts for 53.3% of the global organic carbon and is about 2 times of the total carbon of the conventional fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas and coal) of the earth. Therefore, natural gas hydrate has become a hot spot of the current energy science research as a strategic alternative energy source with great potential in the future.
However, unlike conventional reservoir resources, natural gas hydrates do not have natural traps, are cemented in the sediment pores in solid form, or exist in layers, veins, and chunks, etc. to fill fissures and cavities in the sediment. After the natural gas hydrate is decomposed, the cementation degree of a reservoir is reduced, a large amount of decomposed methane gas is gathered, and fluid flow in the reservoir possibly causes pore overpressure, so that reservoir instability and geological landslide are caused. The temperature and pressure conditions of the natural gas hydrate reservoir are changed after the seabed landslide, and the natural gas hydrate is possibly caused to be decomposed in a wider range in a linkage manner. The leaked methane can further enter overlying sediments, water bodies and even atmosphere to induce environmental ecological problems such as ocean acidification, biological extinction, climate warming and the like.
Over the past four or fifty years, research on natural gas hydrates has been rapidly developed, and the early research mainly focuses on basic physical properties of the natural gas hydrates, exploration of natural gas hydrate reserves and resources, natural gas hydrate exploitation technology and derivative technology thereof, and the like. Compared with field tests, the indoor simulation experiment technology has the advantages of short period, low risk, low cost and strong repeatability. Therefore, as an important means for the fundamental development of natural gas hydrates, indoor simulation techniques for natural gas hydrates have been developed rapidly, but the current indoor simulation experimental techniques mainly focus on basic physical property measurement, formation and decomposition kinetics and thermodynamic parameter experimental research, geochemical parameter experiments and tests, reservoir mechanical parameter measurement and the like of natural gas hydrates, and there are few experimental simulation researches on methane leakage decomposition of natural gas hydrates. At present, natural gas hydrate is not commercially exploited and tried in a large scale, the environmental ecological effect mechanism brought by reservoir methane leakage caused by natural gas hydrate decomposition is not clear, the data base is extremely deficient, and a simulation system and an experimental method for decomposing methane leakage by natural gas hydrate are urgently needed to be established to quantitatively research the environmental ecological effect of decomposing methane leakage by natural gas hydrate.
