Shale compaction

Input(s)

\varnothing: Porosity (fraction)

3: Second Empirical Constant from Porosity vs Vertical Stress Graph (1/MPa)

σv\sigma_{\mathrm{v}}: Vertical Effective Stress (MPa)(\mathrm{MPa})

Output(s)

e\emptyset_{\mathrm{e}}: Shale Compaction (fraction)

Formula(s)

e=eβσv\varnothing_{\mathrm{e}}=\varnothing * \mathrm{e}^{-\beta_{*} \sigma_{\mathrm{v}}}
