Title

Experimental data on tight rock permeability (NERC Grant NE/R017883/1)

Abstract

The dataset describes the results of high pressure experimental measurements of three contrasting 'tight' rocks; a Bowland Shale, a Haynesville shale and Pennant sandstone. The results are tabulated as a csv file, listing experimental parameters, confining pressure, argon gas pore pressure and permeability. complementary measurements of key petrophysical data are provided - bulk modulus of compressibility, porosity TOC and density.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Argon gas flow over the typical range of reservoir burial pressures and pore pressure was measurd using the oscillating pore pressure technique. Pore compressibility was measured using the gas volume displaced as a functioni of increments of effective confining presssure. A simple mathematical model was derived to describe the pressure sensitivity of permeability of these rocks.
