Brittleness Evaluation in Shale Gas Reservoirs and Its Influence on Fracability

The brittleness index (<i>BI</i>) is a key parameter used to identify the desirable fracturing intervals of shale gas reservoirs. Its correlation with fracability is still controversial. There have been a variety of methods proposed that can estimate BI. The brittleness evaluation method...
