However, critical geologic data are missing, such as basic sedimentologic and stratigraphic description, thickness, lateral extent, TOC, rockeval, kerogen type, inorganic mineralogy, porosity, and permeability.
Geomechanical parameters that determine hydraulic fracture potential (“fraccability”/ brittleness), such as Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, stress, and shear modulus are also lacking.
- To provide new integrated geologic and geomechanical analysis of core from prospective shale gas systems in selected Australian Basins.
- Link geologic and geomechanical properties in order to determine geologic predictors of engineering
