Abstract
A method that includes lowering a formation testing tool into a wellbore intersecting a subterranean formation. The formation testing tool comprises an expandable member. The method also includes performing a pressuremeter test (PMT) by expanding the expandable member.
Claims12
A method, comprising:
- (a) lowering a formation testing tool into a wellbore intersecting a subterranean formation, wherein the formation testing tool comprises an expandable member;
- (b) performing a pressuremeter test (PMT) by expanding the expandable member.
A method comprising:
- a formation testing tool into a wellbore intersecting a subterranean formation, wherein the formation testing tool comprises a plurality of expandable member;
- performing a first PMT test at a first depth, comprising inflating a first expandable packer, and acquiring pressure and pumped volume data, and communicating the acquired pumped volume data and pressure data to a processor, wherein the processor is configured to plot a first sleeve facture plot;
- performing a second PMT test by inflating a second expandable packer, and acquiring pressure and pumped volume data, and communicating the acquired pumped volume data and pressure data to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to plot a second sleeve fracture plot;
- and
- using the processor to derive a first static shear modulus using the first sleeve fracture plot and a second static shear modulus using the second sleeve fracture plot.
