Laboratory research of geomechanical parameters of sedimentary rocks massifs in the South Sakhalin

Abstract

The paper presents the laboratory research of the strain and strength properties of terrigeneous sedimentary cores received from South Sakhalin outcrops. We have compared geomechanical parameters calculated on the base of deep drilling logging data with the results of laboratory experiment. Satisfactory correspondence of laboratory and logging based data has been found.

Geomechanical parameters of sedimentary rocks of Southern Sakhalin

“…Laboratory density studies were carried out by weighing samples of standard sizes (cylinders 60 by 30 mm and 30 by 30 mm) shown in figure 2. The measurements of density and elastic wave velocities allowed determination of dynamic values of Young's moduli, Е din , and Poisson's ratios, ν din [4,5].…”

“…Taking into account the development of modern laboratory equipment, the needs of oil and gas production, the development of the construction industry and infrastructure, it is reasonable to continue these works in order to clarify the geomechanical parameters of sedimentary rocks of southern Sakhalin. This work can be considered as a continuation of [4,5].…”
