Drs. Ayato Kato and Fumio Kono (JNOC) report that they have had good success with their gas hydrate test cell which is designed to measure seismic velocity (P-wave and S-wave) of gas
hydrate samples under in situ temperature and pressure conditions.

They have been receiving core samples stored in pressure vessels and then transferring them into their test cell and re-pressurizing with methane gas. The tests reveal the controls of grain
size, porosity and hydrate content on velocity.
