The hydrate morphology of natural gas hydrate-bearing (GH) sediments recovered from the eastern Nankai trough area was investigated under hydrostatic pressurized conditions that prevent dissociation of gas hydrates in a sediment. We developed a novel X-ray computed tomography system and an attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) probe for use in the Instrumented Pressure Testing Chamber for our set of Pressure-Core Nondestructive Analysis Tools (PNATs), which can measure the sediment structure, primary wave velocity (PWV), density, and shear strength under pressurized conditions. The hydrate saturation values estimated using the ATR-IR absorption bands of H2O molecules strongly correlate with PWV. Assuming homogeneity of hydrate distribution in the planes perpendicular to the sample depth direction, the hydrate morphology of natural GH sediments in the eastern Nankai trough area demonstrated a load-bearing morphology type. The predicted hydrate morphology results are in good agreement with data reported in the literature. The combination of PNATs including ATR-IR spectroscopy can be used to estimate the properties of GH sediments without the release of pressure to atmospheric conditions in order to model gas hydrate reservoirs for natural gas production.
