Abstract:
Provided are systems and methods for determining fracture toughness of a subsurface geologic formation. Embodiments include collecting (from drilling fluid circulated into a wellbore during a drilling operation) a drill cutting generated by a drill bit cutting into a subsurface formation, preparing (from the drill cutting) a drill cutting specimen comprising a miniature single edge notch beam (SENB) having a specified length in the range of 1 millimeter (mm) to 100 mm, conducting a three-point bend testing of the drill cutting specimen to generate load-displacement measurements for the drill cutting specimen, and determining (based on the load-displacement measurements for the drill cutting specimen) a fracture toughness of the subsurface formation.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 ,\n wherein the first orientation is aligned with a lateral axis of the drill cutting specimens such that the bedding plane is parallel to a loading direction of the drill cutting specimens in the three-point bend testing, and wherein the second orientation is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the drill cutting specimens such that the bedding plane is perpendicular to a loading direction of the drill cutting specimens in the three-point bend testing.
