Experimental Investigation on the Stress-Dependent Permeability of Intact and Fractured Shale
The permeability of shale is extremely low.Therefore, the shale reservoir needs fracturing.The fracture network by fracturing can increase the permeability in a stimulated shale reservoir.To understand the permeability evolution in the stimulated shale reservoir, this study measured the permeability of intact and fractured shale samples with differ
