Description

Natural gas hydrate exploitation device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of natural gas hydrate exploitation, in particular to a natural gas hydrate exploitation device and method.
Background
The conventional petroleum and natural gas resources stored in the world are greatly consumed and can be exhausted quickly. The evaluation results of scientists show that the combustible ice is distributed in an area of 4000 ten thousand square kilometers only in the submarine area, and occupies 1/4 of the total area of the earth ocean. In 2011, the combustible ice distribution area found in the world is as many as 116, the thickness and the large scale of the ore deposit are incomparable with the conventional natural gas field. Scientists estimate that the reserve of subsea combustible ice is at least 1000 years for human use.
The natural gas hydrate is also called as combustible ice, and is an ice-like crystalline substance formed by natural gas and water under high pressure and low temperature conditions and distributed in deep sea sediments or permafrost in land areas. It is also called "combustible ice" because it looks like ice and burns when exposed to fire. The resource density is high, the global distribution is wide, and the resource value is extremely high, so the method becomes a long-term research hotspot in the oil and gas industry.
The natural gas hydrate hardly generates any residue after combustion, and the pollution is much less than that of coal, petroleum and natural gas. 1 cubic meter of combustible ice can be converted to 164 cubic meters of natural gas and 0.8 cubic meters of water. During exploitation, a large amount of methane gas can be released only by heating and decompressing the solid natural gas hydrate.
Combustible ice is formed at 0-10 ℃ and decomposes at temperatures above 20 ℃. The seabed temperature is generally kept at about 2-4 ℃; the combustible ice can be generated at 0 ℃ under 30 atmospheres, the 30 atmospheres can be easily ensured at the depth of the ocean, and the hydrate is less prone to decomposition when the atmospheric pressure is higher; the organic matter on the seabed is precipitated, and the abundant carbon in the organic matter is subjected to biotransformation, so that a sufficient gas source can be generated. The stratum of the seabed is a porous medium, and under the conditions of temperature, pressure and gas source, combustible ice crystals can be generated in the gaps of the medium.
The exploitation of the natural gas hydrate changes the temperature and pressure conditions under which the natural gas hydrate is subjected to, and causes the natural gas hydrate to be decomposed. If the control of the temperature and pressure conditions cannot be effectively realized in the exploitation process of the natural gas hydrate, a series of environmental problems can be caused, such as the intensification of the greenhouse effect, the change of marine ecology, the submarine collapse event and the like.
At present, few devices capable of exploiting the natural gas hydrate exist, and the exploitation process of the natural gas hydrate is greatly limited.
