The invention discloses a method for measuring permeability of ultra-
low permeability rocks under a tri-axial stress effect. The method comprises the following steps of: selecting an ultra-
low permeability rock, and preparing a
test sample; wrapping water permeable liner plates at the upper end and the lower end of the
test sample and the
test sample between an upstream porous pressure
cushion block and confining pressure chamber base by using a rubber sleeve; applying confining pressure and
axial pressure to the test sample to a given value, simultaneously applying
permeation pressure to the test sample, and saturating the test sample; after the
osmotic pressure saturation of the test sample, applying a sinusoidal
pressure wave with a known amplitude and a known frequency to the test sample, recording a downstream pore
pressure wave situation, and transmitting the data to a data measurement and acquisition
system in real time; changing the confining pressure and the
axial pressure, measuring the permeability by using a
waveform correlation method, analyzing the permeability of the test sample under different confining pressure and
axial pressure situations, and obtaining the permeability under different confining pressure and axial pressure conditions. By adopting the method for measuring the permeability of the ultra-
low permeability rocks under the tri-axial stress effect, the weaknesses of the prior art that the
measurement precision is poor, only the confining pressure can be provided, and the stress state of the deep rock under the tri-axial stress effect cannot be actually simulated can be overcome.
