technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas reservoir exploitation engineering, and in particular relates to a multi-physics field evolution simulation test device for natural gas hydrate exploitation, and also relates to a multi-physics field evolution simulation test method for natural gas hydrate exploitation. Background technique [0002] The exploitation of natural gas hydrate has been highly valued by governments, universities and research institutions of various countries, and has become a research hotspot in unconventional oil and gas reservoir engineering. my country's South China Sea is rich in hydrate resources, and the implementation of trial mining of hydrates in sea areas is imminent. However, there are still some problems in the mechanism of hydrate mining, especially the research on the evolution mechanism of multi-physics fields in the formation during hydrate mining is still not good. meet the actual need...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Many countries have carried out the design and construction of hydrate mining simulation experimental devices, focusing on the measurement of temperature field and partial flow field (pore pressure and flow velocity) during hydrate mining, while the measurement of material content, especially the saturation of solid hydrate It is relatively rare, and it is impossible to measure the propagation process of the hydrate decomposition front, especially the propagation process of the hydrate decomposition front in deep-sea loose sediments, and there are few reports on the displacement field (strain)

Existing experimental devices limit the experimental simulation of multi-physics evolution mechanism of hydrate decompression mining, which affects the safety, production efficiency and on-site monitoring of hydrate decompression production.
