In recent years, the natural gas hydrate as a new type of high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection energy was praised by the world's energy industry, and its potential value could not be ignored. The study of gas hydrate was integrated in different countries of the world history, the present research situation and prospect analysis. In view of the natural gas hydrate in China started to be late and a series of actual situation, a set of research strategies suitable for the current development of our country was put forward, and some problems in the process of the actual mining were introduced.
Measurement of Relative Permeability Curve for the Volcanic-Rock byUnsteady-State Water Displacement by Gas
Volcanic-rock reservoir belongs to extremely low permeability gas reservoir. However, as with natural holes and rifts, it can be for industrial development. Relative permeability curve is an important data for dynamic analysis and numerical simulate of gas reservoir development. It illustrated by the case of a Jilin Province's volcanic-rock gas reservoir, and measured the relative permeability curve by unsteady-state water displacement by gas. The results show: It had a high bound water saturation, residual gas saturation and water saturation in isotonic point; it also had a low relative permeability in isotonic point and a low water relative permeability in endpoint; confining pressure and displacement pressure had a significant impact to the results; volcanic-rock reservoir had a serious heterogeneity.
