The invention discloses a method and a device for exploiting
natural gas hydrate in a
permafrost region. The device comprises a water-pumping depressurization
system, an underground in-situ
combustion heating system, a gas
collection system and a
control system. The
water pumping depressurization
system comprises a
water delivery pipe, a deep-well pump and a gas-liquid separator, wherein the deep-well pump is arranged at the bottom of a vertical well; and the gas-liquid separator is connected with the deep-well pump by the
water delivery pipe. The underground in-situ
combustion heating system comprises an electronic ignition device and an
oxygen-containing gas conveying
pipe, wherein the electronic ignition device is connected with a ground power supply by a power switch; and the
oxygen-containing gas conveying pipe is connected with an external
gas supply system and paved from the ground to the electronic ignition device through the vertical well. The gas
collection system comprises a gas collection pipe which is arranged at a well head of the vertical well. The
control system comprises a
pressure sensor, the power switch and a regulation valve, wherein the regulation valve is arranged on the
oxygen-containing gas conveying pipe; and the
control system controls the aperture of the regulation valve and the on and off of the power switch according to a pressure, which is measured by the
pressure sensor, of the vertical well. By the invention, the synchronous continuous exploitation of depressurization and underground in-situ
combustion heating can be realized.
