The reason for the work is that sandstone is one of the most important reservoir rocks exploited, Reed said. "It holds fluids—hydrocarbons such as oil and gas or water," he said. "If we can ...

Understanding the stress, strain, and failure mechanics of rocks and their response to earth stresses can lead to enormous economic benefits in all phases of petroleum reservoir development.

The continental shelf downstream of a major river delta is a great place for deposition of loose, sandy sediments that make good oil reservoir rocks. These two types of rock—organic-rich source ...

Recovery of the residual oil using EOR is possible but ultimately ... and economic recovery from the developed fields. Reservoir rocks that hold hydrocarbons are elastically nonlinear.

specializes in the characterization of petroleum reservoir rock and reservoir fluids as well as measurement of hydrocarbons’ response to changes in reservoir conditions (pressure, temperature ...
