HOW TO EVALUATE A SHALE PLAY? Part B Emanuel Martin In the first part of “HOW TO EVALUATE A SHALE PLAY?" we've developed: Shale play features, Main properties
Shale Basic Knowledge
How to evaluate a shale play? Part A Emanuel Martin Introduction Shale formations constitute 60% of the rocks that make up the Earth's crust being only a small group
Flow Mechanics
This result has been further compared with the help of MATLAB so as to obtain a complete pressure-derived model. The result shows the applicability of
Hydrulic Fracture

8.1 Definitions The peridynamics formulation was first developed by Silling [248], where he tried to overcome the limitation of current theories dealing with discontinuity, such as

7.1 Boundary Element Method (BEM) The boundary element method has first appeared in the work of Cruse and Rizzo [52] for elasticity problems, but it was
