Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pressure-maintaining core technology, and in particular to a pressure-reducing gas collection device for pressure-maintaining cores and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Pressure-preserving cores are core samples that retain the pressure level at the sampling site after collection. Pressure-preserving cores containing natural gas hydrates can maintain the original pressure and temperature at the sampling site, prevent hydrate decomposition, preserve the original structure of the internal natural gas hydrates and sediments, and provide in-situ geological and geochemical information about the reservoir.

[0003] Conducting pressure release and gas collection experiments on hydrate-bearing core samples can measure and collect the gas and water produced by the decomposition of hydrates under pressure in the core samples. This provides basic data and samples for calculating hydrate reservoir saturation and analyzing gas composition, and is an important step in the study of hydrate mining and the formation and dynamic evolution of hydrate reservoirs.

The gas and water pipeline ends at gas and liquid inlets, which are connected to the pressure-maintaining chamber 18 via the pressure-maintaining chamber interface 13 and the high-pressure pipeline. The gas and water pipeline is sequentially connected to the first valve 9, the flow regulator 6, and then to the first interface of the three-way valve 12. The second port of the three-way valve 12 is connected to the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 7, and the third port of the three-way valve 12 is connected to the gas collecting cylinder 2 through the gas collecting cylinder port 15. The pressure sensor 5 is installed on the pipeline between the first valve 9 and the flow regulator 6. The high-pressure water pump port 14, which is connected to the external high-pressure water pump, is connected to the pipeline between the first valve 9 and the flow regulator 6 through the second valve 10.

This device can connect to the core pressurized chamber 18, measure the gas and water production of hydrate decomposition in the pressurized core by gradually reducing the pressure and collect pollution-free gas, while recording pressure changes. In this embodiment, the second valve 10 controls the high-pressure water pump to fill the gas-water pipeline or the outer sleeve 22 and inner sleeve 21. The third valve 11 is used to control the liquid from the gas-liquid separator 7 to be discharged outside the device through the liquid discharge port 16.

The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises: The method comprises the following steps: Step one: fill the gas-water pipeline with water through the valve controlled by the operation box, and pressurize to the same pressure as the pressure maintaining cabin; Step two: open the first valve through the operation box, and adjust the pressure in the pressure-maintaining cabin by using the flow regulator to start the pressure reduction and gas release; Step three: the gas and water generated by the decomposition of the hydrate enter the gas-liquid separator, and the water yield can be directly read through the scale on the gas-liquid separator; Step four: the gas flows through the gas flow meter, and the pressure and gas flow are recorded and displayed in real time through the data acquisition module, so that the long core gas yield is quickly calculated; Step five: after the gas passes through the gas flow meter, the gas flows out from the gas discharge interface, enters the gas collection bag, and the gas collection is completed.
