Geomechanics field characterization of Woodford Shale and Barnett Shale with advanced logging tools and nano-indentation on drill cuttings

摘要

In this work, wells in the Woodford and Barnett formations were cored and logged. Anisotropic elastic and poroelastic properties of these formations were estimated from thousands of nano-indentation tests and mineralogy and porosity logs using the GeoGenome model. The results agreed with laboratory UPV measurements and sonic log results for properties in direction perpendicular to bedding.
