“…The application of elemental-mineral transformation analysis is a comprehensive technology used in geology. − The rock cutting analysis technology (RoqScan cuttings’ analysis system) , that is based on elemental-mineral transformation has been proposed by the CGG company from the United States. This technology provides the possibility of analysis while drilling. − Using this technology, field tests have been successfully implemented in various oil fields around the world, such as Bakken Shale, , Barnett Shale, Haynesville Shale in Northwest Louisiana, Southern Powder River Basin in Wyoming, Marcellus Shale, and Cauvery Basin in Southern India …”

The fracturing of naturally fractured volcanic rocks has a significant impact on the logging due to the high degree of volcanic fracture development and the complex distribution of fractures. Such impact ultimately leads to the difficulty in determining the location of fracturing perforations and the increase in engineering costs. This article proposed a method of analyzing cuttings for geologging that return to the ground when drilling. After cleaning and further processing of the cuttings, samples at every depth are formed. Then, an electron microscope and supporting processing software are used to calculate the parameters of the sample at each depth and the rock mechanical parameters in the target well section based on the mineral content. Compared with mud logging data, the mineral analysis method of rock cuttings costs less time, and the materials are easier to obtain, thereby providing richer data. This method has an important guiding role for the selection of perforation positions in large-scale hydraulic fracturing.
