step S1: the production well (2) is used for producing reservoir hydrates, decomposing the reservoir hydrates to form mixed fluid containing gaseous natural gas, formation water and solid particles, and conveying the mixed fluid to a well head;
step S2: the mixed fluid flows into the underwater separator (3) from the wellhead of the production well (2) through the mixed fluid input pipe (60), the underwater separator (3) separates the mixed fluid into gaseous natural gas, formation water and solid particle fluid, and the gaseous natural gas, the formation water and the solid particle fluid respectively exit through a gaseous natural gas output pipe (61), a formation water output pipe (62) and a solid particle fluid output pipe (63);
step S3: the gaseous natural gas is conveyed to a natural gas liquefaction device of the central processing platform (1) through a gaseous natural gas output pipe (61), and the natural gas liquefaction device liquefies the gaseous natural gas into liquid natural gas; the liquefied natural gas is conveyed from the natural gas liquefaction device to a liquefied natural gas temporary storage tank; the liquefied natural gas temporary storage tank conveys the stored liquefied natural gas to a liquefied natural gas transport ship (5), and the liquefied natural gas transport ship (5) periodically transports the liquefied natural gas to a shore-based liquefied natural gas receiving station;
the formation water is conveyed to the wellhead of the reinjection well (4) through a formation water output pipe (62), and the reinjection well (4) conveys the formation water of the wellhead to the seabed formation again;
the solid particle fluid is conveyed to an environment-friendly treatment cavity of the environment-friendly discharge device (8) through a solid particle fluid output pipe (63), the solid particle fluid is subjected to environment-friendly treatment in the environment-friendly treatment cavity of the environment-friendly discharge device (8) and then separated to form a formation water fluid meeting the formation protection water quality and a solid particle fluid meeting the safety and environment protection requirements, the formation water fluid meeting the formation protection water quality flows back to a reinjection well (4) through a sewage treatment output pipe (64), and the solid particle fluid meeting the safety and environment protection requirements is discharged to the seabed through the solid particle fluid output pipe (63);
step S4: the groundwater returning to the reinjection well (4) is re-conveyed to the subsea formation.
