Abstract

The article delves into the strategic importance of developing natural gas hydrates in the South China Sea for China's energy security. It examines various methods of gas hydrate development, with a particular focus on the advantages of horizontal well technology. The paper discusses the successful application of horizontal wells in both onshore and offshore gas hydrate reservoirs, highlighting significant increases in gas production. Additionally, it explores the challenges faced during the drilling of horizontal wells in offshore environments and proposes innovative well types to overcome these obstacles. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and development to enhance the efficiency and economics of gas hydrate extraction.
