. To investigate the effect of water content on the mechanical behaviour of fine-grained sedimentary rocks three different types of shales; clayshale, mudshale and mudstone, from different locations. The samples were tested at different water content ranging from...

), and spontaneous potential (SP). A total of 30 reservoir electrofacies were identified within this formation. Integrated geochemical and petrophysics data showed that zones with electrofacies 3, 4, 9, and 10 have potential for shale gas production. In addition...

Abstract: Organic-rich shales occur in the Kockatea Shale Formation, Permo-Triassic of the Perth Basin (Western Australia) and have been investigated to characterise it as a potential shale gas unit. Classic

Exploration of unconventional oil resources and extensive investments for improvement of production technology from these resources led to increase of extractable oil reserves from technical aspect. In addition, by increase ...

The effect of mineralogy on slake durability of 36 mudrock samples was investigated. Samples were obtained from six different sites with distinct lithologies that included 12 mudstones from two sites, 14 mudshales from two ...

The paper describes the statistical relationship between physical and mechanical properties.

The Barzoo dam on the Gholijogh river, a branch of the Atrak river with a catchment area of 491.7 km2, is located about 18 km north of Shirvan cith in NE Iran.
