Identification of different lithofacies laminations in oil shale and their mechanical properties

Lamination can greatly enhance the anisotropy and heterogeneity of shale and plays a significant role in influencing hydraulic fracturing. The structure and mechanical difference of different lithofacies lamination are the basis to reveal the fracture propagation mechanism. In this paper, research f...
