Technical Field
The invention relates to a sea area natural gas hydrate self-entry type solid fluidization exploitation system and an exploitation method.
Background
Natural gas hydrates have a composition similar to natural gas, but are purer, 1m under standard conditions3The natural gas hydrate can be decomposed to generate 164-180 m3The energy density of the burnt natural gas is 2-5 times of that of the conventional natural gas and 10 times of that of coking coal, the natural gas is convenient to use, high in combustion value and huge in energy, basically has no pollutant residue after being burnt, and is a recognized clean and efficient energy source in the world. The formation of natural gas hydrate must satisfy 3 basic conditions of low temperature, high pressure and gas source, so the current common exploitation methods include: high temperature heat shock method, depressurization method, displacement method.
Based on the characteristics of shallow burying depth, no compact cover layer, no diagenesis, weak cementation, easy fragmentation and the like of natural gas hydrate in the sea area of China, a solid-state fluidization method is proposed by scholars. The hydrate ore body is developed in a solid state by adopting mining equipment, the deposit containing the hydrate is crushed into fine particles, then the fine particles are mixed with seawater, the mixture is conveyed to an offshore platform by adopting a closed pipeline, and then the mixture is subjected to post-treatment and processing on the offshore platform. The existing solid-state fluidized mining method needs to adopt a high-pressure seawater jet flow or a drill bit drilling mode to form a drilling well and then lay a riser, and the high drilling cost is a main limiting factor for limiting the development of the drilling well.
