Mechanism Analysis of Rock Vitrification by Strip Laser Scanning.

The process of casing the wellbore in oil and gas drilling consumes a significant amount of time and economic resources. High-energy laser rock fracturing, as an efficient and cost-effective new approach, holds the potential to create a glass-like casing by irradiating the rocks as an alternative to traditional casing. The mechanism behind the vitrification of rocks using laser irradiation, a key factor in achieving glassified casings, remains to be studied.
