Relationships between cement, rock fabric, porosity and permeability, Lower Vicksburg Formation, McAllen Ranch field, south Texas

Conference Grigsby, J D ; Langford, R P - AAPG Bulletin (American Association of Petroleum Geologists); (United States)

Detailed petrographic mapping of cement distribution, combined with sedimentologic description and petrophysical data, is a powerful technique for describing distribution of reservoir properties. Two cores from the lower Vicksburg Formation, McAllen Ranch field, south Texas, indicate that porosity and permeability, which vary over several orders of magnitude, are related to a complex interplay between centimeter-scale cement variations, grain size, sedimentary structures, and the development of secondary porosity. Porosity and permeability plugs in combination with thin section analysis, taken every 5 cm through several representative intervals, reveal the complex controls on reservoir properties. For example, within an upward-coarsening interval a strongmore »« less
Fractured rock stress‐permeability relationships from in situ data and effects of temperature and chemical‐mechanical couplings

Journal Article Rutqvist, J. - Geofluids

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to (i) review field data on stress‐induced permeability changes in fractured rock; (ii) describe estimation of fractured rock stress‐permeability relationships through model calibration against such field data; and (iii) discuss observations of temperature and chemically mediated fracture closure and its effect on fractured rock permeability. The field data that are reviewed include in situ block experiments, excavation‐induced changes in permeability around tunnels, borehole injection experiments, depth (and stress) dependent permeability, and permeability changes associated with a large‐scale rock‐mass heating experiment. Data show how the stress‐permeability relationship of fractured rock very much depends onmore »« less

Relationship between microseismicity and high pore pressures during hydraulic stimulation experiments in low permeability granitic rocks

Journal Article Pearson, C - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

Several hundred microearthquakes with local magnitudes ranging between -4 and -2 were recorded during hydraulic stimulation experiments at the hot dry rock demonstration site, Fenton Hill, New Mexico. These events are probably caused by shear failure induced by high pore fluid pressures. Since the event locations seem to cluster in a narrow band near the hydraulic fracture, we were able to use microseismic techniques to locate the hydraulic fracture and monitor its growth. We calculate the minimum pore pressure increase necessary to induce rock failure using a simple model of slippage on preexisting fractures. By comparing a pore pressure distribution,more »« less

Perimeter-area power-law relationship of pores in sedimentary rocks and implications for permeability

Conference Schlueter, E M ; Zimmerman, R W ; Cook, N G.W. ; ...

Perimeter-area power-law relationships of pores in five sedimentary rocks are determined from scanning electron photomicrographs of thin sections. These relationships for the pores of four sandstones were found to lie between 1.43 and 1.49, while that of an Indiana limestone was found to be 1.67. The authors discuss how the perimeter-area power-law relationship of pores, along with a pore-size distribution, can be used to estimate the hydraulic permeability.
Determination of the effective stress law for permeability and deformation in low-permeability rocks

Journal Article Warpinski, N R ; Teufel, L W - SPE Formation Evaluation (Society of Petroleum Engineers); (United States)

This paper reports that laboratory experiments were performed to determine the effective stress law of tight sandstones and chalk for permeability and deformation. Permeability and volumetric strain data were taken at various stresses and pore pressures and were analyzed with a statistical model-building approach. Results show that the effective stress laws for both processes are variable with stress and pressure, depend on the material, and do not agree well with present theories. This may be applied for a greater understanding of oil reservoir formations.
