A novel approach to determine the Biot’s coefficient using X-ray computed tomography

Linear poroelastic effective stress law is often used to relate in situ total stresses to pore fluid pressure in underground formations. The indirect estimations of effective stress coefficient (Biot coefficient) based on porosity relationships are often not accurate, and therefore the Biot coefficient measurements on retrieved samples using hydro-mechanical laboratory testing is considered. In this study, we propose a new indirect technique to...
