Logging evaluation on mechanical-damage characteristics of the vicinity of the wellbore in tight reservoirs

The rock mechanical behavior and damage characteristic is of great importance for in situ stress evaluation, wellbore stability analysis and hydraulic fracturing design. The velocities of elastic waves are usually reduced in the presence of rock damage, it may be used for determining the progressive damage of the rock. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the damage characteristics of transversely isotropic tight sand formation, the rock...
