摘要：Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is a kind of clean energy with great potential because of its huge reserves. There are several effective methods for exploiting hydrate sediments such as depressurization, thermal excitation, inhibitor injection and displacement, etc. Among these methods, the combined depressurization and heat injection method is considered a very promising method, which solves the problem of insufficient heat supply during the depressurization process. In this paper, the mechanism of combined depressurization and heat injection exploitation of NGH is analyzed, and the multiphase flow models of the injection well and production well are established, respectively, for the parallel horizontal NGH well production system with this combined method. The multiphase flow laws of fluids in a wellbore were obtained, and the factors affecting the temperature and pressure distributions in the wellbore were analyzed. The results of this study show that gas and water are produced simultaneously in the process of exploitation with this combined depressurization and heat injection method. The electric submersible pump has a great influence on the flow of the fluids in the wellbore, and there are sudden skips of the temperature and pressure at the pump position. Increasing the depth and working frequency of the pump will reduce the risk of continuous discharge of water from the annulus. Increasing the injection rate and injection temperature can both improve the effect of heat injection. This study provides theoretical guidance for the combined extraction with depressurization and heat injection method and production optimization of NGH.
