Jointed samples were actually split cylinders joined by surfaces with controlled surface roughness. Samples with induced tension fractures were also measured. The permeability of the whole rock ranged from about 10−6 to 10−7 darcies. The permeability of the jointed rock ranged from about 8 x 10−5 darcies at low pressure down to that of the whole rock at high pressures. Permeability was not a simple function of the difference between external confining pressure (P/sub c/) and internal fluid pressure (P/sub f/). Changes in permeability were found to be proportional to (b dP/sub f/ - a dP/sub c/) where b/a is less than 1 for the jointed rock and b/a is approximately 1 for whole rock. The order of application of P/sub c/ and P/sub f/ was also important. Permeability hysteresis and an ultimate decrease in permeability in both whole and jointed rock resulted when internal fluid pressure was cycled. This effect seems to diminish with increasing confining pressure. At a particular P/sub c/, the volume flow rate, q, is proportional to (P/sub c/ - P/sub f/)/sup -n/. Increasing the surface roughness of the joints decreased the value of n, which was smallest for the tension fracture and the whole rock.

Book excerpt: Accomplishments during the first 30 months of work on the fluid transport properties of rock fractures at high pressure are discussed in detail in this report and by Kranz et. al in Int. J. Rock Mech. Min. Sci. (1979). The following results are discussed in this report. Fracture permeability is highly sensitive to initial surface roughness. Changes in permeability are found to be proportional to (BdP/sub f/ - adP/sub c/), where b/a

This book was released on 1977 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initial stages of a study on the fluid transport properties of rock at high pressure and temperature are reported. Emphasis is placed on the mechanical hydraulic interactions, in an attempt to clarify the process of fracture closure and its influence on fracture permeability. To determine the fluid transport properties of a fracture, the effect of surface roughness, geometry, and filling on fracture permeability was investigated. Permeability of these fractures was measured at various effective normal stresses at room temperature. The law of effective stress appears valid for fractures without filling but permeability of filled fractures is more sensitive to confining pressure than pore pressure. Permeability of smooth surfaces varied 5 to 0.5 darcys over a range of effective stresses from 0 to 3000 bars. Filled fractures were an order of magnitude more permeable.

Book excerpt: Flow rates and thus permeability were measured for a variety of effective pressures on artificially prepared joints in Cheshire quartzite. Permeabilities calculated from constant head tests compare with permeabilities calculated from pulse decay tests. Measurement of the change in aperture with effective pressure shows that at effective pressures of less than 20 MPa changes in confining pressure have a larger influence on the aperture than changes in pore pressure. Joint permeability changes with aperture; thus changes in confining pressure are more influential on permeability than changes in pore pressure. Although a cubic law model for flow along a joint gives a rough estimate of joint permeability, measurements of the changes in flow rate with aperture suggest that the cubic law is inadequate for smooth joints at high pressure. This is so because the effective cross section available for flow changes with pressure in a nonlinear manner.

This book was released on 1982 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research progress for the period March 1982 through October 1982 is reported. The permeability system that is nearing completion is briefly described. Several complementary experiments were conducted: (1) a study of the evolution of surfaces undergoing dissolution, with specific emphasis on the changes of surface roughness and asperity shape; and (2) an experiment to assess whether measureable pressure solution could occur in the time constraints typical of the proposed permeability experiments. (ACR).
