In order to master the microscopic growth mechanism of natural gas hydrate, a series of experiments were carried out using a high-pressure hydrate flow loop. The microscopic physical information of the growth of hydrates in the emulsion system is captured by advanced microscopic equipment and the phenomena of the experiments show that: 1) not all water droplets instantaneously generate a hydrate shell, but only a few of the water droplets gradually generate a hydrate shell when reaching the conditions of the hydrate formation; and 2) the coalescence and shear do occur in the hydrate formation process, and the distribution of hydrate particle size has changed.
