[Problem] In the production of sand reservoir type methane hydrate, there are problems, such as compaction of reservoir or production of sand in the mine, and the effect of existing methods to counter the production of sand is inadequate.

[Solution] The present invention can prevent the fluidization of sand occurred when methane hydrate is decomposed by injecting a grouting agent capable of adequately adhere sand particles into gaps (pore gaps) within sand particles which are unsolidified or weakly solidified and constitute the reservoir to be developed. In addition, provided is a technique capable of suppressing the production of sand in the mine, contributing to the stable production of gas, by injecting a filling material into the target reservoir around a mine well and thus constructing a porous grouting body having sufficient strength and good permeability. Further, the present invention also performs permeability restoration measures such as hydraulic fracturing or chemical treatment on the reservoir which has been subjected to the abovementioned grouting, thereby achieving both of stabilization of the reservoir and productivity of gas.

Methods and systems for extracting natural gas are described herein. The source of the natural gas may be a reservoir of natural gas or natural gas and crude oil found on land or in a subterranean or subsea environment. The natural gas also may be that extracted from a subsea reservoir of naturally formed clathrate hydrate. The methods may be performed on land, at the sea surface or at the seafloor. The methods feature providing a suitable promoter to facilitate selective formation of a structure II (sII) methane clathrate hydrate to thereby store natural gas in a readily transportable form. The methods may also feature separating both natural gas and associated water involved in producing it from impurities.

A system for flue-gas hydrate-based desalination using LNG cold energy belongs to the field of hydrate technology application. The CO.sub.2 in the flue-gas is captured based on the hydrate formation. Two stage formation chambers are set to improve the hydrate formation. The two steps to purify the hydrates respectively are the gas separation and the liquid separation. The two methods of hydrate dissociation to realize the recycling of the waste heat of flue-gas and the CO.sub.2 are the heat-exchanged and the exhausted. The present invention realizes the integrated CO.sub.2 capture and seawater desalination with a proper structure and a subtle system and solves the cold energy source for hydrate-based desalination by means of using LNG cold energy. The two stage formation chambers solve the capture of CO.sub.2 in the flue-gas and guarantee the hydrate formation amounts. The two types of dissociation chambers decrease the heat emission by using the waste heat of flue-gas and realize the recycling and storage of CO.sub.2. The system will not be affected by the changes of seasons and environments and has a strong carrying capacity for the flue-gas source change. It is a system with great application value realistic.
