Natural gas hydrate is a research hotspot at present. However, the current exploitation technology can’t meet the demand of commercial exploitation of natural gas hydrate. In order to improve the efficiency of hydrate production, this paper believes that the idea of using high-pressure water jets for sandblasting perforation is expected to constitute an effective way to extract natural gas hydrates. The experimental study on sandblasting perforation and hydraulic slitting of simulated reservoirs was carried out by using large-scale ground fracturing equipment and full-scale hydraulic blasting perforating equipment. The driving pressure is analysed under the action of high-pressure water jet. The influence of diameter on the effect of simulated reservoir fracture. The results show that the diameter of the perforation increases with the increase of pressure; This experimental study can provide an experimental basis for the use of abrasive jet blasting perforating technology to improve the efficiency of natural gas hydrate production.
