Rock & Pore Compressibility
Inside this lesson
- Define pore-volume compressibility and its typical magnitudes
- Calculate the change in pore volume given pressure depletion
- Explain why rock compressibility matters for reservoir behaviour (developed further in Module 9)
- Understand the mathematical relationship $c_f = (1/V_p)(dV_p/dp)$
