Systems are designed to provide rocks mechanical dynamic/static elastic properties. The rock mechanics test system uses high hydrostatic pressures 15Kpsi, axial loads 200Klbs, and elevated temperatures of up to 160 degrees to set the rock core back into estimated in-situ reservoir conditions in the laboratory environment. Typically generated data is used for the following applications:
- Provide necessary inputs for Geomechanics Models
- Evaluation of Wellbore Stability and Hydraulic Fracture Design
- Reservoir characterization (Static/Dynamic Correlations)
- Understanding Compaction and Surface Subsidence and its Effects on Permeability
- In-situ Stress Determination
