Application of Rock Brittleness Prediction to Exploration of Tight Oil in the Jimusaer Depression,Junggar Basin

Brittleness of rocks is one of the key parameters of rock mechanics which should be considered in exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. When the rock is brittle,fracture networks tend to form during hydraulic fracturing,thus improving the reservoir properties effectively,and enhancing the single-well productivity. Based on the current technologies,evaluating the brittleness of rocks can be applied to seismic...
