Abstract
The petroleum academia has done a lot of research on stress sensitivity of reservoir permeability, but the conclusions of different scholars are quite different or even totally opposite, which brings troubles to oil and gas production and decision?鄄making. Therefore, the research results in China and abroad are extensively investigated. The research status of permeability stress sensitivity is introduced in detail from six aspects: stress sensitivity evaluation criteria, experimental problems, exploratory stress sensitivity experiments, experiment data analysis, microscopic mechanism interpretation, and influence on productivity. Through investigation and analysis, it is found that the evaluation index of stress sensitivity, the division of sensitivity degree, the experiment and data processing are different from each other, so it is urgent to establish a unified evaluation standard. The choice of effect stress is the main reason that causes the difference of stress sensitivity. Using rock mechanics and the appropriate capillary bundle model, the quantitative calculation formula is deduced theoretically, which will help reveal the inherent law of permeability stress sensitivity
