Abstract
In this dissertation, we introduce a new approach of predicting effective elastic properties upon solid substitution using strain energy and reciprocity theory. We confirm that the exact solution for fluid and solid substitution requires parameters that depend on pore geometry; therefore, substitution is non-unique if only pore-fill volume fraction is known. Using the new equations, which require less computational simulation as compare to a previous study (Saxena and Mavko, 2013) we find that the difference between pore geometry parameters stays unchanged in the same pore compliance. Hence, using this assumption we can predict effective elastic properties upon fluid and solid substitution. After introducing our approach, we discuss methods for obtaining the parameters of stress heterogeneity in the pore space. Finally, we demonstrate the new approach using an actual data set and accompanying 3D CT-scan image.
