Methane hydrate deposits world-wide are promising sources of natural gas. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven useful in previous studies of hydrate formation. In the present work, methane hydrate formation in a water saturated sand pack was investigated employing an MRI-compatible metallic c...
