Experimental and theoretical modeling of creep compaction of quartz sand : rate laws and evolution of porosity and fluid chemistry /

Experiments were conducted in flow-through reactors to investigate the creep compaction and quartz-water interactions under hydrostatic conditions at 150°C and 34.5MPa of effective pressure (pore pressure P[]=0, 0.14 MPa, and 11.7 MPa). The starting materials were St. Peter quartz sand (90-124[]m, 1...
