Quantitative evaluation of rock brittleness and fracability based on elastic-wave velocity variation around borehole
Brittleness and fracability are two important rock properties in hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs. Based on the variation of compressional and shear velocity around borehole using acoustic measurement, an effective technique is developed to estimate these parameters to guide reservo...
