Determinação das constantes elásticas estáticas e dinâmicas das rochas da formação Sousa, bacia do rio do Peixe, PB.

Abstract

In this paper, studies on physical and mechanical properties of rocks from the stratigraphic hole 1-BSB01-PB, in the Rio do Peixe Basin (BRP), are performed. This basin, located in the far west of the state of Paraíba, has become the subject of exploration studies due to the occurrence of oil near the surface, in the NW of Sousa city. In his facies characterization is possible to identify five sedimentary facies: red calcilutite, gray calcilutite, sandstone, black shale and marl. From seismic wave propagation tests, experiments of basic petrophysics, mechanical tests on uniaxial compressive with Schmidt’s hammer, are determined for samples of BRP rocks the porosity, the bulk and grain densities, the seismic velocities, the mechanical strength and the static and dynamic elastic constants, highlighting the Young's modulus. The results obtained show that the studied rocks have porosity values between 0.5 and 20%, uniaxial compressive strength from 18 to 93 MPa, dynamic Young's modulus between 9 and 58 GPa, from 1,1 to 6 times greater than the corresponding static modules Correlations observed for the different physical and mechanical properties shows strongly influences by characteristics such as the presence of carbonate material, organic material, oil and sedimentary and tectonic structure, showing the complexity of the analyzed rocks.
