Abstract:As a key technical method for the exploration of marine natural gas hydrates, pressure-temperature sampling is a core technical method for obtaining in-situ samples of hydrates. This article reviews the relevant data of pressure-temperature core samplers at home and abroad, and analyzes domestic marine natural gas hydrate pressure-temperature core samplers in terms of the working principle, structural characteristics, and experimental applications. The domestic pressure-temperature core sampler has been able to sample in soft to medium-hard to hard formations by adopting different working principles. The performance indicators of domestic pressure-temperature core samplers in field applications, such as pressure retention success rate, core recovery, can also meet the sampling needs; thus effectively facilitating the process of independent natural gas hydrate exploration and evaluation by China.
