Guidance of rock core drilling rig data for shale gas fracturing design

In shale gas development, scientific fracturing design relies heavily on rig data.rock core drilling rig

 

  1. Determine fracturing fluid volume: Use core porosity and permeability to calculate fluid spread, setting proper volume.
  2. Choose proppant type: Core compressive strength and pores decide proppant, ensuring cracks stay open and permeable.
  3. Set fracturing pressure: Use core mechanics—Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio—to set pressure. Avoid over/under-fracturing.
