Prediction of Fracture Toughness in the Shale Formation Based on Well Logging and Seismic Data: A Case Study of the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation in the Sichuan Basin, China

The rock physics experiments and fracture toughness tests of shales from the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation in the Sichuan Basin in China were carried out. Based on this, the calculation model of the fracture toughness was constructed, thus, the single well evaluation of the fracture toughness in...
