Abstract

Abstract: The main method of simulation exploiting methane (CH₄)from natural gas hydrate (NGH)is external stimulation.By heat injection or depressurization,NGH dissociate and release CH₄,which causes easily geological slope hazard,however,because of NGH structure damage.The method,replacing CH₄ in hydrate with CO₂,can dramatically lower the risk due to the replacement occurs in hydrate,and its structure cannot be destroyed.In this paper,the research works on CO₂-CH₄ replacement is reviewed comprehensively,including feasibility of replacement,kinetics model,simulation and experimental studies,and direction of further research and development is proposed for technologies exploitating CH₄ from NGH by replacement method.

Key words: natural gas hydrate, replacement, CH₄, CO₂, simulation exploitation

摘要： 目前实验室模拟开采天然气水合物(NGH)的最主要的方法为外激法,通过注热、降压等方式使水合物分解释放出甲烷(CH₄),外激法最大的问题在于水合物的分解容易造成地层结构变化,导致地质斜坡灾害。利用二氧化碳(CO₂)在水合物相中置换开采CH₄,由于置换过程发生在水合物相中,不改变水合物相结构,因此可以降低地质灾害风险。本文全面介绍了利用CO₂在水合物相从NGH中置换CH₄的研究进展,从置换可行性、动力学模型、模拟研究、实验研究等方面对当前的研究进行了综述,并为进一步发展置换法开采CH₄技术指出了方向。
