Review of major shale-dominated detachment and thrust characteristics in the diagenetic zone: Part I, meso-and macro-scopic scale
There is considerable variability in the thickness, structure, and macroscopic deformation
style within shale-prone major thrust zones, which also impacts the structural style in the …

Mechanical properties of shale-gas reservoir rocks—Part 2: Ductile creep, brittle strength, and their relation to the elastic modulus
We studied the elastic moduli, ductile creep behavior, and brittle strength of shale-gas
reservoir rocks from Barnett, Haynesville, Eagle Ford, and Fort St. John shale in a series of …

What controls the mechanical properties of shale rocks?–Part I: Strength and Young's modulus
We performed mechanical tests on several, mainly European black shales with different
mineralogical composition, porosity and maturity. The uniaxial and triaxial compressive …

Cam-Clay plasticity. Part IX: On the anisotropy, heterogeneity, and viscoplasticity of shale
We investigate three aspects of material behavior in this ninth installment of the Cam-Clay
series, namely, anisotropy, heterogeneity, and viscoplasticity. The main focus of the paper is …

Creep of Posidonia shale at elevated pressure and temperature
The economic production of gas and oil from shales requires repeated hydraulic fracturing
operations to stimulate these tight reservoir rocks. Besides simple depletion, the often …

Fractional model for simulating long-term fracture conductivity decay of shale gas and its influences on the well production
Y Peng, A Luo, Y Li, Y Wu, W Xu, K Sepehrnoori - Fuel, 2023 - Elsevier
Due to the high-content of clay and kerogen, shale will always show viscoelastic mechanical
behaviors during the development of shale gas, which will lead to the increase of proppant …
