Innovative thought on quickly and clearly surveying the gas hydrate resource and leading production technology

Abstract:

In response to the occurring characteristics and current status of exploration and production of gas hydrate， this paper presents an innovative thought with combination of the hydraulic reverse circulation drilling used in land mineral prospecting which will be used for oceanic gas hydrate survey and resource appraising. The feasibility， some technical problems and measures， economic and social efficiencies and so on of the hydraulic reverse circulation drilling are discussed. The thought would play an active role in quickly assessing the gas hydrate resource and providing the replacing resource and leading production for mankind. At the same time， the technical measures for increasing production of the gas hydrate and preventing and removing the sand are presented in the paper.
