天然气水合物研究进展

全面回顾了近几十年来国际天然气水合物从发现到商业化开发的研究历程。一方面，从纵向时间角度追溯水合物研究的3大历史阶段（早期的发现阶段、20世纪六七十年代的调研阶段；大规模的详查阶段）；另一方面，从横向学科联合发展角度探讨水合物实验室模拟的热力学与动力学过程，概述水合物的全球分布与资源量评价，归纳钻、采、储、运4大工程的主要内容与要点；阐述了世界范围内天然气水合物的研究趋势（定量化、一体化、低能高效化）及阶段性进展。

Research on Development History and General Evolvement of Gas Hydrate

he authors review the research on international gas hydrate mainly from its discovery to exploitation in recent decades. On one hand, they retrospect to three historical stages of gas hydrate researches (the stage of early discovery, the stage of investigation in 1960' s-1970' s, the stage of comprehensive survey) , and on the other, at the angle of cross-discipline work, they discuss simulations of thermodynamics and kinetics of gas hydrate in labs to summarize the global distribution, evaluate resources of gas hydrate, give four main gas hydrate survey work contents (drilling, collecting, storing and transporting) , and guarantee the research direction and partial development of gas hydrate in the whole world to be toward quantification, integration, low energy and high efficiency.
