Pressure Core Characterization Tools for Hydrate-Bearing Sediments.

The article presents information on available tools and advancement in pressure core technology for undertaking various oceans drilling projects for recovery of hydrates bearing sediments. The pressure core technology for characterization of hydrate bearing sediments requires coring, manipulation and testing under pressure and temperature (P-T) conditions within the ocean bed. The pressure core system derives preservation of sediments and production of natural gas.
