Burial depth interval of the shale brittle–ductile transition zone and its implications in shale gas exploration and production

Abstract Brittleness and ductility of shale are closely related to shale gas exploration and production. How to predict brittleness and ductility of shale is one of the key issues in the study of shale gas preservation and hydraulic fracturing treatments. The magnitude of shale brittleness was often...
