Summary - Features
1. Simple, fast, robust, partially destructive test
2. Provides a direct continuous profile of strength with
centimetric resolution
Laboratory controlled well log
Objective measure of the length scales of
heterogeneities (layering)
3. Evidence of correlation between strength, porosity and
permeability at the scale of plug (few cm)
4. Evidence of correlation with well logs: porosity, density,
sonic, GR at the scale of well log (foot)

Summary - Applications
1. Optimize the core’s depth shift
2. Optimize location for plugs
homogeneous vs heterogeneous sections, extremas
3. Correlation with well logs with large representative
sets of data
4. Consolidate all measurements
QC wells logs and plugs measurements
Isolate inconsistency in logs-logs, logs-plugs,
plugs-plugs relationships
