Determining Triaxial Stress Sensitivity of Oil Reservoir Rocks without Fluid Flooding by Zhihang Li, Xiong Hu

“…In the model, the pores of the core were assumed to be a bundle of capillaries and the necessary relationship was derived to calculate the changes of porosity and permeability of the core samples caused by the strain. Through comparison with and analysis of experimental results obtained for various rock core samples under different stress and strain conditions, it is observed that the theoretical model match well with that of the experiments. …”
