Experimental and Numerical Study of Methane Hydrate Growth in Sand Sediments: Effect of Geometry and Water Saturation

Natural gas hydrates represent a vast energy resource, yet their formation in fine-grained sediments remains poorly constrained. Here, CH4 hydrate growth in a quartz sand column with distinct geometries, solid versus hollow, was measured at an initial pressure of 6 MPa and temperatures ranging from 274.15 to 278.15 K...
