Lab analysis of core samples from rock core drilling rig provides key info for shale gas development.
-
Determine gas content:
Analyze cores to measure adsorbed and free gas,
assessing reservoir resource volume.
-
Judge brittleness: Shale brittleness affects fracturing. Core analysis clarifies minerals, guiding fracturing plans.
-
Understand geological structure: Core bedding and fractures reflect shale structure, helping avoid faults.
These results influence development decisions—from drilling sites to fracturing parameters—all relying on core data.rock core drilling rig
