Triaxial test

Laboratory

We use the triaxial testing facility for determining reservoir rock properties such as
- elastic, shear, and bulk modulus
- Poisson’s ratio
- Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS)
- cohesion
- friction angle
- poroelastic properties
- creep characteristics
- pore collapse pressure
- porosity and permeability changes during the reservoir pressure depletion

We have two triaxial cells that can operate at pressures up to 6,500 psi with one cell designed for 1.5 in. diameter and the other for 2.5 in. diameter samples.
We can also perform TWC tests by using the triaxial testing facility.
