Methane Hydrate Distribution from Prolonged and Repeated Formation in Natural and Compacted Sand Samples: X-Ray CT Observations

Figure 9

A comparison of hydrate nucleation locations with water saturation; (a) hydrate saturation distribution after the second hydrate formation in SP2 with black dots for the center of high hydrate saturation area indicating hydrate nucleation locations and (b) water distribution before the second hydrate formation with the black dots of hydrate nucleation superimposed.
