Organic shales can split into laminae or thin layers due to their fissility and are usually
characterized as transverse isotropic media. Understanding their elastic and anisotropic …

The grain bulk modulus is a crucial property of a rock frame, determining poroelastic
responses such as seismic velocity. Conventionally, the grain bulk modulus is estimated …

Shales often show strong elastic anisotropy that originate from the alignment and platy
nature of its constituent minerals. Despite its impact on amplitude variation with offset …

Due to the complexity of its microscopic composition, the mechanical changes produced by
the hydration process of organic-rich shale are more complicated than those of pure clay …

Environmental problems associated with depleted oil and gas reservoirs upon long-term
production from them are likely to become important challenges in future decades. With the …

Lithology discrimination plays an important role in characterizing deep-hydrocarbon
reservoirs, particularly for tight sandstones with special petrophysical properties. Stable …

Compared with other sedimentary rocks, the strong elastic anisotropy of shale is extremely
prominent, which is mainly caused by the preferred orientation and platy nature of its clay …

Montmorillonites are commonly existing in shales and understanding the anisotropic elastic
properties of montmorillonite is very crucial because they provide important geomechanical …

The causes of the intrinsic elastic anisotropy of shales are very complicated, and clay
mineralogy and crack properties are critical for rock-physics models and geomechanics …
