Geomechanical appraisal and prospectivity analysis of the Goldwyer shale accounting for stress variation and formation anisotropy

Geomechanical appraisal and prospectivity analysis of the Goldwyer shale accounting for stress variation and formation anisotropy

Profitable exploitation of unconventional shale gas reservoirs relies on the success of hydraulic fracturing stimulation. This is more likely in brittle rock formations because natural and hydraulic fractures remain open after stimulation, allowing for more hydrocarbon production. Identification of...
