FLUID FLOW THROUGH HETEROGENEOUS METHANE HYDRATE-BEARING SAND: OBSERVATIONS USING X-RAY CT SCANNING

The effects of porous medium heterogeneity on methane hydrate formation, water flow through the heterogeneous hydrate-bearing sand, and hydrate dissociation were observed in an experiment using a heterogeneous sand column with prescribed heterogeneities. X-ray computed tomography (CT) was used to...
