Abstract
Numerous recent studies demonstrate a substantial impact of saturating fluid type on rock strength and elastic properties [1-8]. Lack of experimental research and limited applications of results obtained pose the major challenges for further studies.
This paper reviews research efforts aimed to study the changes in rock strength and elastic properties caused by saturating fluid variations in different types of Cretaceous sediments and possibilities for application of resultant data to address specific production issues. Based on the experience in development of Cenomanian gas-saturated deposits, forecasting of safe underbalance conditions for different sediments and premature flooding are of primary concern while bringing into production Lower Cretaceous sediments.
Core studies have revealed that the effects of saturating fluid type on rock strength and elastic properties are less pronounced in Lower Cretaceous sediments compared to Cenomanian sediments [1-3].
A steady trend of changing rock strength and elastic properties, including rocks with low clay content, suggests that this problem is the subject of continuing research.
