초록

투과도는 다공질 암석 내에서 유체의 유동 특성을 나타내는 중요한 매개변수로서 일반적으로 코어 시료의 유체 유동실험을 통해 산출된다. 하지만, 유체 유동실험을 위해서는 별도의 실험장치가 필요하며, 투과도가 낮을 경우 많은 시간이 소요될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 일련의 투과도 측정 실험 없이 시료의 건조과정만으로 투과도를 도출하기 위해 유체투과도, 공극률, 건조율간의 상관관게를 분석하였다. 공극률은 표면건조 포화시료를 건조시키면서 무게 변화를 연속적으로 측정하는 건조 모니터링 방법을 이용하여 산출하였으며, 건조율은 물 포화율에 따른 시료의 무게 변화율로부터 구했다. 70 ~ 670 mD의 투과도를 보이는 6개의 베레아 사암을 이용해 회귀분석한 결과 공극률 및 건조율로부터 다공성 사암의 투과도를 예측할 수 있는 새로운 경험식을 도출하였다.

As the permeability is an important parameter to characterize the ease with which a porous medium transmits fluids, it is usually obtained by fluid flow experiment using core samples. In order to measure the permeability, however, an experimental apparatus is required and it might take long measurement time, especially for tight samples. In this study, the relationship between permeability and porosity as well as drying rate has been investigated to predict the permeability without a series of measuring experiments. Porosity is measured by drying monitoring method, which measures weight variation continuously while drying surface-dried saturated sample, and drying rate is obtained from weight variation ratio with respect to the water saturation. The total of 6 Berea sandstone samples, which have a permeability range of 70 to 670 mD, were used in this work, and a new and empirical equation which could predict permeability of porous sandstone by using porosity and drying rate were obtained through regression analysis.
