Established
in September 1992, the PoroMechanics Institute
(PMI) is a multidisciplinary research unit
of the University of Oklahoma, Norman.
The PMI offices and laboratories are located in the Sarkeys Energy Center, a 340,000
square foot complex at the northeast corner of the campus housing
more than 200 teaching and research laboratories.
Research at the PMI is related
to the understanding and application of the mechanics of porous
media in general and the investigation of rock mechanics as applied
to the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in particular.
As such, PMI serves both the petroleum industry and the wider geomechanics community.
In addition, the PMI provides state-of-the-art facilities for conducting research and
educating university students on poromechanical testing.
