A new core-testing protocol has been created to characterize rock mechanical parameters
based on lithologic composition and rock texture. The goal is to characterize the main rock …

Core material from a North Sea reservoir has been investigated for strength and elastic
properties in triaxial tests. The material behaves nonlinearly elastically, and the rock strength …

Rock mechanical properties may be derived from formation evaluation logs using empirical
relations or using algorithms based on microscopic rock models, which relate the dynamic …

1. INTRODUCTION A BSTRACT: An extensive database of mechanical strength
measurements has been compiled for sandstone-to-shale siliciclastic rocks including …

In Petroleum, Civil and Mining Engineering, designing structures dealing with rock mass is a
day-to-day activity. In order to carry on such projects, it is essential to know the strength and …

Reliable quantitative data on the mechanical properties of hydrocarbon reservoir rocks can
only be obtained from the testing of core samples. Consequently, the geomechanical …

The worldwide oil exploration activities are leading the oil companies to off-shore reservoirs
in increasingly more complex environments. The well drilling and reservoir production areas …

Abstract Knowledge of rock mechanical properties, including unconfined compressive
strength (UCS), is essential for accurate geomechanical evaluations. Reliable quantitative …

INTRODUCTION Summary The aim of this work is to present a methodology for logfacies
classification integrating petrophysical properties derived from formation evaluation analysis …

Determining mechanical properties of reservoir rocks through mechanical testing is a well-
established procedure. Static properties obtained from these tests (Young's modulus …
