Rock and Soil Mechanics
Roughness of rock fracture has a significant influence on the seepage characteristics of fracture. The point cloud data of rock fracture surface was collected by three-dimensional (3D) optical scanning system. The joint roughness coefficient (JRC) and surface roughness ratio (Rs) were calculated by SURFER and GEOMAGIC STUDIO, and the quantitative relationship between JRC and Rs was established. The effects of JRC and Rs on the fracture seepage characteristics in limestone were investigated by conducting seepage tests under the coupling effect of stress, seepage and chemical interaction. The results show that JRC is a logarithmic function of Rs, with the R-squared …

Rock and Soil Mechanics
Permeability prediction during hydrocarbon production is a rather important problem. The decrease in permeability due to depletion reserves and the drop in reservoir pressure (increase in effective pressure) leads to an increase in the time of oil or gas production. A large number of works have been devoted to the problem of permeability reduction due to effective pressure. Establishment of permeability models is carried out by various methods including coreflooding tests and field well tests. The results of previous studies have shown that permeability has a power-law or exponential dependence on effective pressure, however, the difficulty in predicting permeability is …
