During the process of hydrate reservoir drilling; the heat generated by friction in a horizontal well section leads to hydrate decomposition and affects the wellbore stability. Consequently; the low-temperature environment of subsea wellbores can cause hydrate regeneration and flow obstacles. In this study; modified n-alkanes (MNA) with an appropriate phase transition temperature and acceptable latent heat were synthesised; and the thermal conductivity was improved by adding nano-Cu. A composite phase change material (PCM) was prepared using expanded graphite (EG) with adsorbing MNA; and nano-silica modification to improve its hydrophilicity and stability. Structural properties of the composite PCM were characterised via scanning electron microscopy (SEM); X-ray diffraction (XRD); Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy; and nitrogen sorption. The DSC curves revealed an acceptable latent heat capacity and reliability of the prepared composite PCM. In addition; by simulating the temperature heating and cooling during the drilling process; the composite PCM exhibited a reasonable thermoregulating and hydrate decomposition inhibition performance; which can effectively inhibit hydrate decomposition in reservoirs and hydrate regeneration in wellbores. Moreover; the composite PCM exhibited a reasonable compatibility with the drilling fluid. The study results can be applied to realise intelligent temperature control and reduce the risk of drilling in hydrate reservoirs. © 2021 Elsevier B.V;
