Detection and quantification of rock physics properties for improved hydraulic fracturing in hydrocarbon-bearing shales
Horizontal drilling and hydraulic stimulation make hydrocarbon production from organic-rich shales economically viable. Identification of suitable zones to drill a horizontal well and to initiate or contain hydraulic fractures requires detection and quantification of many factors, including elastic...
