Disclosed herein is a system for simulating depletion/injection processes under true triaxial stress conditions. The system may include a pressure cell coupled with a true triaxial loading mechanism. A cubical rock specimen may be disposed within the pressure cell and vertical and horizontal loading mechanisms of the true triaxial loading mechanism may compress the cubical rock specimen along three principle axes, while pore pressure within the cubical rock specimen may be increased or decreased by injecting or discharging a pressurized fluid within the pressure cell in order to simulate in situ conditions of a real reservoir.
