Loading rate dependence of permeability evolution in porous aeolian sandstones
[1] Mechanical properties of rocks are characterized by their notable dependence on the applied deformation rate. However, little is known about the strain rate dependence of fluid flow properties since most laboratory tests are conducted using a single, high strain rate. We have investigated the effect of loading rate on the permeability of porous sandstones by carrying out triaxial compressio...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Foam Flooding in Low Permeability Sandstones: Effects of Rock Permeability and Microscopic Heterogeneity
Foam flooding (or injection of foam) is a common technology to enhance oil recovery. Although the effects of permeability on foam flooding were well studied in many laboratory experiments, little research has been focused on the specificity of low permeability. In this paper, a series of constant-quality nitrogen foam flow experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of permeability on...
متن کاملA Short Note on Permeability Anisotropy in Heterogeneous Porous Media
This paper presents some new results of theoretical modeling on permeability anisotropy in heterogeneous porous media. It is shown that the lineation of heterogeneities results ·in permeability anisotropy. However, to produce strong anisotropy, the permeability contrast between the lineated high permeability region and the background must be very high. We demonstrate this using two examples. Th...
متن کاملAnisotropy of sandstone permeability
Small-scale probe permeability measurements on differently oriented faces of highly compacted and quartz-cemented Viking Formation sandstones yield detailed permeability distributions that appear to be diagnostic of the grainand lamina-scale fabric of the samples. Permeability anisotropy of a single structureless'-appearing sample is low, reflected by a kV / kH-ratio of 0.7; corresponding k-di...
متن کاملDrucker Medal Paper : Localized Compaction in Porous Sandstones
Compaction bands are narrow, roughly planar zones of localized deformation, in which the shear is less than or comparable to compaction. Although there are differences in their appearance in the field and in laboratory specimens, they have been observed in both for high-porosity (greater than about 15%) sandstones. Because the porosity in them is reduced and the tortuosity increased, they inhib...
