GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Rock physical properties include density, porosity, and permeability, etc. Rock mechanical properties mainly include elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and rock strength. These parameters can be obtained by lab experiments of core samples or by in-situ tests.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since rocks are aggregates of mineral grains or crystals, their properties are determined in large part by the properties of their various constituent minerals. In a rock these general properties are determined by averaging the relative properties and sometimes orientations of the various grains or crystals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Importance of rock properties Rock and fluid properties provide the common denominator around which we build the models, interpretations, and predictions of petroleum engineering, as well as geology and geophysics.

Detailed explanation-4: -Modulus of Deformation – Young’s Modulus-E. Modulus of Rigidity – Shear Modulus – G. Modulus of Volume Expansion – Bulk Modulus-K. Poisson’s Ratio- Bulk Density – Compressive Strength – C Tensile Strength – T
