Assessment of the Multiphase Mechanical Properties of the Longmaxi Formation Shale Using Nanoindentation Tests. [PDF]
Mechanical properties are some of the most important parameters for understanding well drilling and hydraulic fracturing designs in unconventional reservoir development. As an effective tool, nanoindentation has been used to determine the mechanical properties of rocks at the nanoscale. In this study, the Longmaxi Formation shale samples from the Yibin

Experimental investigation of friction reducer effects on the microstructure and permeability of Longmaxi formation gas shale. [PDF]
This study proposes a novel method to investigate the effects of friction reducers on the microstructure and permeability of gas shale, using the Longmaxi formation as a case study. By combining high-pressure mercury injection (HPMI) data, the pore size distributions (PSDs) and permeability of gas shale sample were derived from low-field nuclear ...
