ABSTRACT:
Measurements of reservoir characteristics of a core sample of a subsurface formation are carried out with the core sample being subjected to pressure cycling. Pore volume changes during such pressure cycling are measured. Pore compressibility is determined from a plot of the measured pore volume change versus pressure. Scanning of the core sample with X-rays each pressure cycle identifies the pressure at which fracturing is initiated.
