Abstract

A system for exploiting natural gas hydrate with downhole gas-liquid synergic depressurization includes a casing configured to form an exploitation well. An upper end of the exploitation well is connected to a produced gas collection pipeline, and the produced gas collection pipeline is configured to be connected to a produced gas recovery system. A perforated channel is distributed in a section of the casing located in a natural gas hydrate reservoir. A tubular string component assembly is mounted in the exploitation well, and includes an outer string, a production tubular string and an auxiliary riser. A first check valve is mounted at the bottom of the outer string, a gas supply pipeline is connected into an upper portion of the outer string, and a flow controller is mounted in the gas supply pipeline. The production tubular string is mounted in the outer string.
