Construction of a novel brittleness index equation and analysis of anisotropic brittleness characteristics for unconventional shale formations

Abstract The brittleness prediction of shale formations is of interest to researchers nowadays. Conventional methods of brittleness prediction are usually based on isotropic models while shale is anisotropic. In order to obtain a better prediction of shale brittleness, our study firstly proposed a n...
