Abstract

The invention relates to an energy exploiting technology, in particular to a method for exploiting natural gas in combustible ice formation by utilizing ocean surface layer warm water. The method comprises the steps that (1) a combustible ice natural gas exploiting layer section and a warm water injection layer section are determined; (2) in the combustible ice natural gas exploiting layer sectionand the warm water injection layer section, a communicating channel of the formation and a borehole is established by means of perforation and the like; (3) a warm water pipe, a downhole regulating and control device and a sand control screen pipe are placed on the corresponding downhole positions, wherein the downhole regulating and control device and the sand control screen pipe are connected to the bottom of the warm water pipe; (4) after being measured and / or properly regulated and controlled, the warm water on the surface layer of the ocean is introduced into the lower portion of the combustible ice stratum and injected into the selected injection layer section; (5) melted water and natural gas mixed liquid is driven by the pressure difference to flow through the sand control screenpipe, enter a gas-water channel, and flow upwards to a separation lifting system, and gas-water separation is achieved through the separation lifting system; (6) combustible ice is melted, and water from combustible ice melting flows out to enter the gas-water channel; and (7) combustible ice natural gas exploiting is conducted safely and stably.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to energy mining technology, in particular to a method for exploiting natural gas in combustible ice formations by utilizing ocean surface warm water. Background technique

[0002] The mining method of combustible ice is aimed at melting combustible ice hydrate, including decompression method, CO2 replacement method, CO2 reinjection method generated by downhole combustion, active chemical agent injection method, and electromagnetic wave melting method. The melting of combustible ice is an endothermic process. When there is no energy supplement, the melting process will stop, and the melted water-air mixed fluid will freeze again. This secondary freezing phenomenon hinders the effectiveness of the mining method and also makes it less economically efficient.

[0003] So it is proposed to use deep formation hot water to replenish energy to the combustible ice layer in the melting process. The geothermal gradient in the shallow stra...
