The geological structure of Kashiro-Verey carbonate deposits is considered on the example of one of the deposits of the Perm Region. By combining geophysical studies of wells, standard and tomographic studies of core, the following lithotypes of carbonate rocks were identified: highly porous cavernous, layered heterogeneous porous, heterogeneous fractured porous, dense. It was found that for heterogeneous lithotypes, the porosity estimate in the volume of the permeable part of the rocks significantly exceeds 7%. Experiments on the destruction of rocks were carried out for the selected lithotypes. As a result, it was found that cracks do not form for samples of the cavernous lithotype at a compression pressure of 20 MPa. For a compacted lithotype, already at a compression pressure of more than 10 MPa, an intensive development of fracturing occurs. As a result of multiaxial loading of cores, which can be considered as analogous fracturing of the formation, wide fractures are formed, along which filtration of fluids can occur.
