Fraccability determination of a Posidonia Shale Formation analogue through geomechanical experiments and micro-CT fracture propagation analysis

Gas resources in The Netherlands are steadily running scarce, therefore alternative gas resources are necessary. One of those alternatives present in the Dutch subsurface is shale gas, present in among others the Posidonia Shale Formation (PSF). Little is known about this formation and drilled cores are rare. This study therefore focuses on a...
