Role of Large-Scale Permeability Measurements in Fractured Rock and Their Application at Stripa

摘要

Completion of the macropermeability experiment will provide: (i) a direct, in situ measurement of the permeability of 10 exp 5 to 10 exp 6 m exp 3 of rock; (ii) a potential method for confirming the analysis of a series of small scale permeability tests performed in surface and underground boreholes; (iii) a better understanding of the effect to open borehole zone length on pressure measurement; (iv) increased volume in fractured rock; (v) a basis for evaluating the ventilation technique for flow measurement in large scale testing of low permeability rocks.
