TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that compaction of unconsolidated reservoir rock represents a major drive mechanism in many oil and gas reservoirs and significant volumes of produced hydrocarbons may be attributed to this effect, but compaction might also result in surface subsidence, a dynamic overburden, and local permeability losses in the reservoir.
Abstract: Compaction of unconsolidated reservoir rock represents a major drive mechanism in many oil and gas reservoirs. Significant volumes of produced hydrocarbons may be credited to this effect. However, compaction might also result in surface subsidence, a dynamic overburden, and local permeability losses in the reservoir.

TL;DR: In this article, two models for predicting the maximum pore size in porous media based on fractal geometry are presented, which can be used to calculate the maximum porosity and permeability data, as well as from liquid properties, structure parameters of media and imbibition coefficient data, respectively.
Abstract: The macroscopic transport properties of porous media have received steadily attention in science and engineering areas in the past decades. It has been shown that the maximum pore size in a porous medium plays the crucial role in determination of transport properties such as flow resistance, permeability, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, etc. In this study, two models for predicting the maximum pore size in porous media based on fractal geometry are presented. The present analytical expressions may be used to calculate the maximum pore size from porosity and permeability data, as well as from liquid properties, structure parameters of media and imbibition coefficient data, respectively. Predicted maximum pore sizes by the proposed models show good agreement with the available experimental results.
