Successful fracturing processes in shale, during shale gas drilling and production, is an effective way to reduce environmentally and cost risks. Fracability of rocks is highly affected by the rock�s quartz, carbonate and/or clay content. Thus, a fair understanding of shale quartz, carbonate and/o...
