From Peak Force Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping Measurements to Triaxial Testing: A Comparative Study of Geomechanical Properties of Clay-Rich Carbonates
Abstract:The assessment of geomechanical properties of unconventional reservoirs is significant as they assist in placement as well as understanding of the geometry and properties of multi-stage hydraulic fractures in horizontal wells. Severe heterogeneities at micro-scale in addition to possibility of having non-intact samples provide opportunities for using micro-mechanics techniques on drill cutting size samples. This will lead to not only have a continuous log of geomechanical properties on heterogeneous formations… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
