Depressurization combined with heat (mainly hot water) injection is an important technique for exploiting natural gas hydrate (NGH). To overcome the problems of pore water intrusion and hot water energy loss in the technique, this paper employs a method of setting sealing boundaries in permeable overburden and underburden to exploit NGH. The influence of the presence of sealing boundaries on NGH exploitation performances was numerically investigated. The results indicate that the sealing boundaries in permeable overburden and underburden can inhibit water intrusion and reduce heat loss, significantly improving the efficiency of hydrate dissociation and gas production. Specifically, the hydrate dissociation and gas production efficiency increased by 22.0–30.1% and 63.9–85.1%, respectively. Moreover, there is an optimal sealing vertical distance within the range of 0–15 m, maximizing the mining efficiency of NGH at the end of production. On the other hand, the presence of sealing boundaries effectively limits the escape range of CH4 in the permeable overburden and underburden, resulting in an increasing gas-to-water ratio and an increasing energy efficiency. These findings provide theoretical and technical support for the mining of NGH by depressurization combined with heat injection. |
