摘要
The high temperature induced by lasers while drilling through rock enhances porosity and permeability and reduces strength. High temperature causes microcracks, vaporizes cementation, and dehydrates clays. Phase changes also affect rock properties such as permeability, porosity, and strength. The effect depends on temperature distribution and gradient as well as mineralogy.
