Abstract: The brittleness of rocks is one of the most important parameters in tight gas exploration and development. The higher the reservoir rock brittleness is, the more fracturing fracture develops, and the higher the production capacity will be. A variety of brittleness calculation formulas were used to establish a new calculation model of brittleness index of the Permian tight gas reservoir in northeastern Ordos Basin by researching the uniaxial compression crack mechanism of brittle rock, and the stress and strain of the first crack point and the peak under uniaxial compression. The results show that the brittleness index calculated by the new model can characterize the brittleness of the rocks effectively, because it has obvious function relationship with the brittleness calculated by static rock mechanics parameters in the experiments. Based on the fracturing effect in uniaxial compressive experiments, the new brittleness index and the initial crack point index could be used to establish the standard of reservoir fracturing effect. This result enriches the reservoir brittleness calculation method, and sets a new standard of brittleness evaluation.

Key words: petrophysical facies-flow unit, ultra-low permeability reservoir, high quality reservoirs, logging response characteristics, quantitative evaluation
