Title: Laboratory measurements of the effective-stress law of carbonate rocks under deformation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10142777

The behavior of rocks under the combined effects of confining stress and pore pressure is an important issue for any in situ petroleum process. In order to simplify the difficulties in dealing with two independent parameters, it is customary to introduce an effective-stress law which relates a net, or effective, stress to some combination of confining stress and pore pressure. This report documents laboratory tests of mechanical properties of five carbonate rocks.
