Developing a high capacity axis translation apparatus for gas shale testing [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Gas shales are usually partially saturated due to hydrocarbon generation and often have a low in-situ degree of saturation less than 40 %. During stimulation, substantial fluid imbibition into the formation occurs due to high suction.

Preparation of large sand samples using the air pluviation method – investigation of factors influencing homogeneity [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesAir pluviation is a well-established technique for preparing sand specimens specifically for element and model-scale testing. In this method, dry sand is discharged from a hopper onto a perforated plate, which controls the bulk flow.
