Permeability stress sensitivity of formation is of great research value in oil & gas exploration and development.Experiment samples with Φ2.5cm×5cm,which were classified as matrix,natural fracture and artificial fracture,were selected from four types of typical carbonate rocks.The researches on permeability stress sensitivity and rock mechanics were carried out,and the effect of permeability stress sensitivity influenced by physical and mechanical characters of rock was analyzed.Results show that permeability stress sensitivity can be evaluated by stress sensitivity coefficient for the purpose of conducting a contrastive study in different oil blocks,formations and lithology.The stress sensitivity coefficients of carbonatite matrix samples,natural fracture samples and artificial fracture samples were 0.22,0.49 and 0.63,respectively.It shows a trend of steady increase.The correlation between the stress sensitivity of carbonatite and the permeability is poor.It′s hard to precisely reflect the stress sensitivity of natural fracture because the randomness of stress sensitivity of the artificial fracture sample is bigger.Stress sensitivity is closely related to the mechanical properties of rock.The higher value of rock elastic modulus,the weaker the stress sensitivity.It is expected to strengthen the researches on micromechanism and simulation of stress sensitivity.
