Abstract
ABSTRACT Geological and mechanical laboratory experiments were conducted on several core samples in order to characterize the material behavior and generate data for the design of hydraulic fracturing treatments for high-permeability formations. Photomicrographs of thin sections were used to classify the specimens according to their granular constitution and pétrographie components. The results of evaluations of fracture toughness, permeability, porosity, static and dynamic Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio are presented. Based on linear regression analysis, correlations relating static to dynamic Young’s modulus were derived. The error between the predicted and measured values was minimized by dividing the samples into three porosity groups.
