  • Patent number: 11959346
    Abstract: A method for offshore dual-drive core drilling with three layers of casings under surge compensation is provided. According to the method, a drilling vessel is located at set latitude and longitude coordinates by a dynamic positioning system; drill pipes are stabilized by a seabed template; torques and drilling pressures can be transmitted during drilling of the casings by means of surge compensation of the casings at a wellhead; during drilling for sampling, the surge compensation can compensate to a certain extent for a change in water depth caused by rising or falling tides, or surge, thereby preventing the casings from colliding with equipment and ensuring the safety of wellhead operation; and the drilling of three layers of casings is achieved by means of dual driver heads to effectively protect a wellbore wall, such that high core-drilling rate and good core-drilling quality are achieved during drilling for sampling.

  • Patent number: 11760923
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reagent for exploiting natural gas hydrates, which includes a regent A and a regent B. The reagent A is PEG400-polyurethane prepolymer; the reagent B includes PEG400 and an initiator; and a volume ratio of the PEG400-polyurethane prepolymer, the PEG400 and the initiator is (1-3000):(1-1000):(1-2000). The reagent of the present invention has excellent performance and high stability, and can effectively “replace” the “water” of the natural gas hydrate; and moreover, the reaction is exothermic reaction to effectively increase the reaction rate, which reduces the energy loss on the one hand, and reduces the blockage of a gas passage caused by the secondary generation of the natural gas hydrates in a low-temperature high-pressure pipeline during transferring on the other hand.

  • Patent number: 11549649
    Abstract: The present application discloses a device and method for detecting and ablating hydrates in a natural gas pipeline. The device includes a transmission mechanism, a detection mechanism and an ablation mechanism. The detection mechanism and the ablation mechanism are both connected to the transmission mechanism through an elastic connector, such that the device can smoothly pass through bends in the natural gas pipeline. The transmission mechanism includes a universal wheel component, which forms static friction with an outer wall of an inner natural gas pipeline, such that the device can move along the inner natural gas pipeline. The detection mechanism detects the temperature of the natural gas pipeline and determines whether hydrates are generated in the natural gas pipeline to block the pipeline, and then the blockage is heated by the ablation mechanism to ablate the hydrates.
