Putting the Pressure on Fiber Laser Perforations

Initial tests were performed on cores of Berea sandstone and Indiana limestone under various conditions of axial, pore and confining pressures. The laser settings remained constant for all cases. Full output power of 5.34 kW was applied continuously to each sample through the sapphire window of the...

Summary:Initial tests were performed on cores of Berea sandstone and Indiana limestone under various conditions of axial, pore and confining pressures. The laser settings remained constant for all cases. Full output power of 5.34 kW was applied continuously to each sample through the sapphire window of the pressure cell with a beam diameter of 0.35-in. for 8 seconds.
