Mechanism of Permeability Evolution for Reservoir Sandstone with Different Physical Properties by Xianshan Liu, Ming Xu, Ke Wang

“…Furthermore, a statistical damage constitutive model considering hydraulic-mechanical coupling process is presented to calculate the damage variable D, illustrating that larger water pressure will result in a relatively smaller damage variables D and corresponding maximum, which explains that the permeability increases more rapidly and is larger for the sandstone without mud than that with mud, and sandstone damage related to corresponding circumferential crack strain and permeability has been investigated, also implying the evolution mechanism of permeability for two sandstones with different physical properties. …”
