Patent number: 12024984Abstract: A system for exploiting natural gas hydrate with downhole gas-liquid synergic depressurization includes a casing configured to form an exploitation well. An upper end of the exploitation well is connected to a produced gas collection pipeline, and the produced gas collection pipeline is configured to be connected to a produced gas recovery system. A perforated channel is distributed in a section of the casing located in a natural gas hydrate reservoir. A tubular string component assembly is mounted in the exploitation well, and includes an outer string, a production tubular string and an auxiliary riser. A first check valve is mounted at the bottom of the outer string, a gas supply pipeline is connected into an upper portion of the outer string, and a flow controller is mounted in the gas supply pipeline. The production tubular string is mounted in the outer string.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: GUANGZHOU INSTITUTE OF ENERGY CONVERSION, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Xiaosen Li, Xuke Ruan, Zhaoyang Chen, Gang Li, Yu Zhang, Yi Wang, Kefeng Yan, Jiayuan Zhou

Patent number: 10683736Abstract: A method for recovering gas in natural gas hydrate exploitation is disclosed, in which a gas-water mixture at a bottom of a exploitation well is delivered to an ocean surface platform through a marine riser, by adopting the gas-lift effect of methane gas derived from the dissociation of natural gas hydrate, so as to achieve a controllable flowing production of marine natural gas hydrate. In the startup stage, the pressure in the bottom of the well is decreased by the gas-lift effect of the injected gas to allow dissociation of the hydrate. In the flowing production stage, the flowing production is achieved by the gas-lift effect of the gas derived from the dissociation of the natural gas hydrate, wherein a seafloor gas tank is employed to control the flowing rate and replenish the consumed gas.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: GUANGZHOU INSTITUTE OF ENERGY CONVERSION, CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Zhaoyang Chen, Xiaosen Li, Jinming Zhang, Yu Zhang, Gang Li, Qiunan Lv, Yi Wang, Kefeng Yan
