A Novel True Triaxial Apparatus to Study the Geomechanical and Fluid Flow Aspects of Energy Exploitations in Geological Formations
Abstract Fluid–solid coupling investigations of the geological storage of $ CO_{2} $, efficient unconventional oil and natural gas exploitations are mostly conducted under conventional triaxial stress conditions (σ2 = σ3), ignoring the effects of σ2 on the geomechanical properties and permeability of rocks (shale, coal and sandstone). A novel multi-functional true triaxial geophysical (TTG) apparatus was designed, fabricated, calibrated and tested to simulate true triaxial stress (σ1 > σ2 > σ3) conditions and to reveal geomechanical properties and permeability evolutions of rocks. The apparatus was developed with the capacity to carry out geomechanical and fluid flow experiments at high three-dimensional loading forces and injection pressures under true triaxial stress conditions. The control and measurement of the fluid flow with effective sealing of rock specimen corners were achieved using a specially designed internally sealed fluid flow system. To validate that the apparatus works properly and to recognize the effects of each principal stress on rock deformation and permeability, stress–strain and permeability experiments and a hydraulic fracturing simulation experiment on shale specimens were conducted under true triaxial stress conditions using the TTG apparatus. Results show that the apparatus has advantages in recognizing the effects of σ2 on the geomechanical properties and permeability of rocks. Results also demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the novel TTG apparatus. The apparatus provides a new method of studying the geomechanical properties and permeability evolutions of rocks under true triaxial stress conditions, promoting further investigations of the geological storage of $ CO_{2} $, efficient unconventional oil and gas exploitations.
