Experimental data on tight rock permeability

Dataset title Experimental data on tight rock permeability
Dataset creators Ernest Rutter, University of Manchester
Julian Mecklenburgh, University of Manchester
Dataset theme Geoscientific Information
Dataset abstract

The dataset describes the results of high pressure experimental measurements of three contrasting 'tight' rocks; a Bowland Shale, a Haynesville shale and Pennant sandstone.

The results are tabulated as a csv file, listing experimental parameters, confining pressure, argon gas pore pressure and permeability. complementary measurements of key petrophysical data are provided - bulk modulus of compressibility, porosity TOC and density.
