A method for testing the nanomechanical properties of natural gas hydrate samples is provided. A dry pure nitrogen environment and a partial ultralow-temperature liquid nitrogen test condition are constructed, a micro-positive pressure state in a glovebox is maintained, and the temperature of a milling tool and a sample stand are maintained consistent; then, a hydrate sample is transferred and installed in the dry nitrogen environment, and the milling tool is driven to cut a surface of the natural gas hydrate sample to form a relatively flat surface; next, indentation parameter reliability testing is performed, an indentation load is changed, indentation testing of indentation points is performed, and an indentation form is observed. The method can realize indentation testing of natural gas hydrate samples in an ultralow-temperature and dry environment by means of a nanoindenter.

A system and method for exploiting deepwater shallow low-abundance unconventional natural gas by artificial enrichment is provided. The system includes a metallogenic system, a transport system and a collection system. The metallogenic system is used for clustering and enriching the deepwater shallow low-abundance nonconventional natural gas to form a natural gas hydrate reservoir. The metallogenic system includes an artificial foundation pit and a dome cap covering the top of the artificial foundation pit. The transport system is used for transporting low-abundance natural gas in a deepwater shallow low-abundance nonconventional natural gas stratum to the metallogenic system to provide a gas source for synthesizing the natural gas hydrate reservoir for the metallogenic system. The transport system includes oriented communication wells connecting the artificial foundation pit and the deepwater shallow low-abundance nonconventional natural gas stratum and filled with gravel particles. The collection system is used for exploiting the natural gas hydrate reservoir.

The present invention discloses a silty marine natural gas hydrate gravel stimulation mining method and a mining device. The mining method appropriately relaxes the sand retention accuracy of a wellbore, so that the fine sand and muddy components of the stratum can flow into the wellbore, and after a certain period of production, the coarse gravels are injected into the extra-pipe stratum of the production well to fill the deficit caused by the production of the fine components of the stratum and the hydrates, and then the well is opened for production. The method achieves the triple objectives of improving the productivity of the silty reservoir, preventing the large-area deficit in the stratum and extending the effective period of the sand retention of the wellbore, by way of the alternation of the rounds of the gravel injection and the hydrate reservoir fluid extraction.
