ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Some implications of the static theory of linear poroelasticity for reservoir compaction are discussed. First, the relationship between the bulk compressibility and the uniaxial compaction coefficient is reviewed. Then, an expression is derived for the pore compressibility under uniaxial strain conditions. Finally, the influence of pore pressure on lateral stresses, under uniaxial strain conditions, is discussed.
