In the study of natural gas hydrates, the maintenance of the low-temperature and high-pressure state of the core sample under in situ conditions is highly important for cutting, transferring, and subsequent analysis. The pressure maintenance and temperature control device (PMTCD) for natural gas hydrate core samples described in this paper is a subsystem of the pressure-retaining and transfer device. The device consists of a water tank, seawater chillers, a plunger pump and a thermoelectrical refrigeration device. The device cools the seawater to 2 °C, and then pressurizes it to inject it into the sample cylinder. Due to the inevitable heat generated by the pressurization and heat exchange with environment, there is a thermoelectrical refrigeration device to compensate for temperature rise. Finally, the seawater temperature entering the sample cylinder is no higher than 3 °C, effectively preventing the decomposition and deterioration of the natural gas hydrate core in the sample cylinder. In this paper, the temperature increase of the device and its compensation capacity are analyzed in detail on the basis of calculation and simulation. On the basis of testing with the device, it is verified that even at the ambient temperature, the water temperature can still be maintained at 3 °C.

By introducing workflow methods to the research on natural gas hydrate core sample management, we have built the management model and designed the core object analytic model. With the help of models above, the underlying information of core sample exposes to the researchers visually and simply. Based on models and WEBGIS, a natural gas hydrate sample management system has been established and successfully applied by Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey.

AbstractNatural gas hydrate (NGH) has been widely considered as an alternative to conventional oil and gas resources in the future energy resource supply since Trofimuk’s first resource assessment in 1973. At least 29 global estimates have been published from various studies so far, among which 24 estimates are greater than the total conventional gas resources. If drawn in chronological order, the 29 historical resource estimates show a clear downward trend, reflecting the changes in our perception with respect to its resource potential with increasing our knowledge on the NGH with time. A time series of the 29 estimates was used to establish a statistical model for predict the future trend. The model produces an expected resource value of 41.46 × 1012 m3 at the year of 2050. The statistical trend projected future gas hydrate resource is only about 10% of total natural gas resource in conventional reservoir, consistent with estimates of global technically recoverable resources (TRR) in gas hydrate from Monte Carlo technique based on volumetric and material balance approaches. Considering the technical challenges and high cost in commercial production and the lack of competitive advantages compared with rapid growing unconventional and renewable resources, only those on the very top of the gas hydrate resource pyramid will be added to future energy supply. It is unlikely that the NGH will be the major energy source in the future.
