  • Publication number: 20230151731
    Abstract: An application method of a device for accurately evaluating the vertical content distribution of an undersea hydrate reservoir includes the following steps: assembling the device into a whole and screwing it into an undersea well; activating natural gas hydrates to produce gaseous substances; opening a directional guide channel corresponding to a thermal excitation system in a working state in S2, so that gaseous natural gas hydrates generated in this horizon enter a screw-in long sleeve through the directional guide channel; collecting, by a gas collection system, the gaseous natural gas hydrates; analyzing and recording components and contents in a box by an optical ranging unit and a resistivity unit; repeating S4 and S5 till the end of one collection cycle; and performing data processing and analysis. In this way, accurate evaluation of the vertical content distribution of undersea hydrates is realized.

  • 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.
