Description

Method for intermittently and auxiliarily exploiting natural gas hydrate through microwave heating
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of natural gas hydrate exploitation, and particularly relates to a method for intermittently and secondarily exploiting natural gas hydrates through microwave heating.
Background
Natural gas hydrates are non-stoichiometric solid complexes of water and small molecule gases produced under low temperature, high pressure conditions. As a clean energy with huge reserves, how to efficiently extract natural gas hydrate from sea areas and frozen soil areas is one of the current research hotspots. According to the stable existing condition of the hydrate, the mining mode mainly comprises the following steps: a pressure reduction method, a thermal excitation method, an inhibitor method, a carbon dioxide substitution method, a solid fluidization method, and the like. The depressurization method is simple to operate and good in economic benefit, is repeatedly applied to trial production of the sea natural gas hydrate, but the single depressurization method is difficult to meet the heat requirement in the later stage of hydrate decomposition; the thermal excitation method has good effect, high gas production rate and high cost, and the traditional heating mode has heat loss; the inhibitor method can change the phase equilibrium condition of the hydrate, but the chemical reagent has high cost and may cause the pollution of stratum environment; the carbon dioxide hydrate generated by the carbon dioxide replacement method is more stable than the methane hydrate, and the method can store the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to reduce the greenhouse effect, but the current conversion efficiency is lower. The above single exploitation methods have advantages and disadvantages, and thus the combination of multiple methods is considered as the most promising exploitation method of natural gas hydrates. The heat shock can provide energy required by the decomposition and heat absorption of the hydrate, wherein the microwave is used as an electromagnetic wave with the frequency of 300MHz to 300GHz, so that the uniform and rapid heating of the polar molecular hydrate can be realized, and the advantages of small heat loss and rapid action make the hydrate one of the favorable auxiliary exploitation methods in the exploitation of the natural gas hydrate.
The natural gas hydrate can be decomposed quickly and efficiently by microwave heating. However, as the amount of free water produced during the hydrate decomposition process increases, the microwave penetration depth decreases significantly. In this case, Microwave energy is more used to raise the temperature of the reservoir and water than to Hydrate Dissociation, heating the heat transfer by penetrating volume heating to the thermal gradient ("experimental study of Methane Hydrate Dissociation behaviour in Microwave-excited loose deposits", journal of energy, 2011, vol.25, No. 1, pages 33-41, see He, s.; Liang, d.; Li, d.; Ma, l.experimental Investigation on the Dissociation condition of the Methane Gas Hydrate of Methane Hydrate moisture in open semiconductor Microwave insulation.energy & functional 2011,25(1), 33-41. htt:// doi.org/10.1021/ef 1011116). Due to the limitation of the penetration depth of the microwave, after the hydrate in the direct action range of the microwave is decomposed, the microwave energy is used for heating the reservoir, and continuous microwave continuous heating inevitably causes the loss of the microwave energy. In the rapid decomposition period of the hydrate, the rapid temperature rise may be caused by continuous microwave action, and the accident potential such as stratum collapse is caused by the stratum pressure surge caused by continuous and rapid gas production. Therefore, a reasonable optimization of the microwave thermal shock protocol is necessary.
