New model of brittleness index to locate the sweet spots for hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs

Rock characterization in term of brittleness is necessary for successful stimulation of shale gas reservoirs. High brittleness is required to prevent healing of natural and induced hydraulic fractures and also to decrease the breakdown pressure for fracture initiation and propagation. Several defini...
