Abstract: Pore compressibility is one the key properties in reservoir characterization.Such importance is because it influences other properties as porosity, permeability, seismic velocities and rock rigidity.Hence, the knowledge of pore compressibility and the understanding of the mechanism of how it affects the other properties are decisive for several activities in reservoir exploration, management and production.This work aims to address the influence of pore compressibility on porosity and permeability using experimental data analysis for providing empirical models that relate those properties.The results indicated that power-law models are appropriate for explaining such inter-dependence and bounced that pore compressibility as the key factor to describe the behavior of porosity and permeability of the rocks under external pressure.
