methane gas hydrate formation/ dissociation were investigated in sediments using a non- stirred reactor. The main focus of this study attributes to the dynamics of the sediments like clay and zeolite in methane hydrate formation. The pore scale habits of hydrates, hydrate formation techniques exerts a strong control on the macro scale physical properties of the sediments. An experimental study of methane hydrates is been performed at different sediment to water ratios(1-0.5),(1-0.8) of montmorillonite clay and (1-0.1) ,(1-0.2) of zeolite. The synthesis of hydrate is done using a 250ml auto clave at three different pressures typically at 85bars,70bars and 55bars.There is a significant change in the growth of methane hydrate both in Montmornillonite clay and zeolite before reaching to their saturation ratios
