The invention provides a
mutual correlation technology for measuring permeability stress sensitivity of ultra-
low permeability rocks. The technology comprises the following steps: a) an ultra-
low permeability rock core of shale or tight sand rock and the like is selected, and processed into a cylindrical sample; b) a cylindrical steel block standard sample is processed for
system calibration; c) the measurement of ultra-
low permeability is carried out through a
periodic oscillation method, the pore medium can employ gas or water, and the measurement result of the steel block is used for calibrating the
system; d) the
rock core is placed in a clamp holder, and applied with confining pressure and pore pressure, the
rock core is saturated, An upstream sine
pressure wave is applied and kept constant, the responses of the downstream pressure
waves at different confining pressures are measured; e) the downstream pressure
waves at different confining pressures are subjected to
mutual correlation analysis, the change of permeability with confining pressure is obtained. Combined with a
periodic oscillation method for measurement of permeability of ultra-low permeability rocks, pressure waveforms for measurement of permeability are subjected to
mutual correlation analysis, the precision of measurement of permeability change is raised, and the problem of measurement of ultra-low permeability stress sensitivity is solved.
