Measurement of Chemically Induced Poisson’s Ratio of Shale

Abstract

AbstractConsiderable effort has been made to examine the impact of water and ions transport on wellbore stability and hydraulic fracturing in reactive shale from a chemical point of view, but water and ions’ impact on shale’s Poisson’s ratio has been ...Practical ApplicationsProper wellbore stability and hydraulic fracturing designs require accurate determination of the formation’s elastic parameters such as Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio. Extra care should be taken when dealing with shale ...
