Measurements Of The Effective Stress Coefficient For Elastic Moduli Of Sandstone In Quasi-Static Regime Using Semiconductor Strain Gauges, Vassily Mikhaltsevitch, Maxim Lebedev

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Numerous experimental and theoretical studies undertaken to determine the effective stress coefficient for seismic velocities in rocks stem from the importance of this geomechanical parameter both for monitoring changes in rock saturation and pore pressure distribution in connection with reservoir production, and for overpressure prediction in reservoirs and formations from seismic data. The present work pursues a task to determine, in the framework of a low-frequency laboratory study, the dependence of the elastic moduli of n-decane-saturated sandstone on the relationship between pore and confining pressures. The study was conducted on a sandstone sample with high quartz and notable clay content …
