天然气水合物的形成分布特征及其开发前景

Distribution and Forming Characteristics of Natural Gas Hydrates and Its Developing Foreground in Our Country

天然气水合物是全球重要的非常规能源,是全世界关注的热点。文中总结了天然气水合物的性质、存在方式、结构类型及其研究历程;天然气水合物形成条件及其在永久冻土区和海洋区的分布特点;天然气水合物的巨大资源量及其勘探开发前景和技术要求;最后讨论了我国天然气水合物的研究勘探状况及其对策。

Natural gas hydrates are very important unconventional energy and recently having been paid great attention to in the world. The paper has summarized the aspects of chemical and physical characteristics, the existing form, the structure type and the research history of natural gas hydrates, as well as the forming condition and distribution characteristics of natural gas hydrates, i.e., in permanent frozen earth and ocean regions. Concerning the enormous amount of natural gas hydrates, it has a great developing foreground, though comprehensive techniques are needs. Finally, the research and exploration status and countermeasure of natural gas hydrates in China are put forward.
