摘要

摘要:
美国于2000年设立了国家级水合物研发计划，20多年来在各个领域取得了丰硕的成果，并已于2024年7月30日完成了全球首次长期陆域试采。介绍了美国的能源政策对水合物研发工作的部署影响，并对美国水合物研发计划的组织结构和经费投入情况进行整理，重点对水合物研发计划下设立的98个项目进行梳理，按照资源勘查与评价、生产技术、室内实验与数值模拟和环境效应领域进行分类分析，以查清美国水合物研发计划的发展趋势，并对计划的成果亮点进行了总结。分析认为: 美国的水合物研发计划组织合理有力，充分利用了政府机构、高校、科研机构和私企各自的优势力量; 计划部署有序，基础科学研究、资源勘查评价、试采协同发展，互相促进; 水合物研发受能源政策的影响，近些年有渐冷趋势。研究成果可为我国提高水合物产业开发能力提供借鉴和资料参考。

Abstract:
The United States established a national level hydrate research and development program in 2000, which has achieved fruitful results in various fields for more than 20 years, and the world's first long-term onshore pilot production was completed on July 30, 2024. This article introduces the impact of the United States' energy policy on the deployment of hydrate research and development work, and summarizes the organizational structure and funding investment of the hydrate research and development program in the United States. Ninety-eight projects under the hydrate research and development program were sorted out, and these projects were classified and analyzed according to resource exploration and evaluation, production technology, laboratory and simulation research, and environmental effects fields. So the development trend of the hydrate research and development program in the United States were clarified and the highlights of the program's achievements were summarized. The analysis suggests that the hydrate research and development program in the United States is well-organized, and the respective strengths of government agencies, universities, research institutions, and private enterprises are effectively utilized. And the whole deployment is orderly, and the development of basic scientific research, resource exploration and evaluation, and pilot production mutually promoted each other. The research and development of hydrates has gradually cooled down in recent years due to the energy policies influence.The results of the stud could provide information references and lessons for China to improve its hydrate industrial development capability.
