1 Rock Mechanics Laboratory Tests for Petroleum Applications Rob Marsden Reservoir Geomechanics Advisor Gatwick
2 Summary A wide range of well established and proven laboratory tests are available for petroleum rock mechanics studies. Not only can these provide fundamental rock properties for characterization purposes or for well designs, the more specialist tests can provide information on how formations might behave when they are subjected to complex stress-paths around wellbores or within reservoirs at various stages during the field-life. Laboratory studies also provide methods for obtaining data that can not otherwise be derived from log data or history matching. For example, whilst strength properties can only be inferred empirically from log data, they may be determined directly from laboratory measurements. Similarly, whilst logs can provide data on dynamic elastic properties, their static (i.e., mechanical) elastic and non-elastic deformation parameters can only be derived from history matching or laboratory tests. Continuous log data combined with laboratory tests on selected samples can therefore provide complementary tools for use in petroleum geomechanics. When coupled with petrophysical studies, the simulation of realistic mechanical loading on a laboratory sample can also significantly enhance the reliability and usefulness of what might otherwise be routine petrophysical analyses. Laboratory techniques also exist for obtaining in situ stress data and, since these methods are based on fundamentally different processes to those employed in hydraulic fracturing etc., they provide useful and complementary adjuncts to rig-site methods. This presentation describes the type of rock mechanics tests available, including some of the more specialist studies as well as routine measurements. The types of equipment employed are introduced, and the data obtained from such laboratory programmes are explained in the context of their end-use for well engineering and reservoir engineering applications.
3 Rock Mechanics Tests.. routinely involve measurements of: Strength & deformation characteristics Pore pressure responses under un-drained loading Porosity and bulk volume changes Fluid transport characteristics Influences of temperature, effective stress path etc. and measurements of: Ultrasonic velocities AE
4 Essential Capabilities: Simulate deviatoric stresses at depth or in proximity to a wellbore Measure deformations and bulk/pore volume changes Systems typically incorporate : Triaxial or confining cell Load or reaction frame Closed-loop loading, confining & pore pressure systems Heating systems (for HT applications) Devices for measuring deformations, pore volume changes, flow, ultrasonic velocities
5 Closed-Loop Control i.e., programmed rate of displacement f p / t is selected actual displacement f a is measured difference f p -f a feeds back to the system control system responds, correcting f p -f a to zero Fluid reservoir Confining pressure controller Program Hydraulic power f p Logger Amp f a -f p f a Correcting signal Cell pressure Piston displacement monitored Pressure intensifier t Triaxial frame & cell Hydraulic power Correcting signal Servo-valve Load Amp f a -f p f 1 f 2 Axial displacement Axial load controller Program f p t Select feed-back Logger
