Effect of liquid nitrogen cooling on the permeability and mechanical characteristics of anisotropic shale

Abstract Liquid nitrogen (LN2) fracturing is a promising new technology for unconventional reservoir simulation because it can effectively solve problems related to low permeability, low brittleness, and water shortage. The present work conducted a series of permeability and strength property-relate...
