Methane hydrate distribution from prolonged and repeated formation in natural and compacted sand samples: X-ray CT observations
To study physical properties of methane gas hydrate-bearing sediments, it is necessary to synthesize laboratory samples due to the limited availability of cores from natural deposits. X-ray computed tomography (CT) and other observations have shown gas hydrate to occur in a number of morphologies ov...
