Nanoscale pore structure characterization of the Bakken shale in the USA

TL;DR: In this paper, the pore structures of unconventional reservoirs such as shale can assist in estimating their elastic transport and storage properties, thus enhancing the hydrocarbon recovery from such massive resources, and the results showed that all range of pore sizes: micro ( 50nm) exist in the Bakken shale samples.

Correlating static properties of coal measures rocks with P-wave velocity

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to correlate physico-mechanical properties of coal measures rocks with P-wave velocity, and samples of coal, shale, and sandstone has been taken from the four different coal mines of India for the determination of compressive strength, tensile strength, shear strength, density, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and Pwave velocity.

Natural joints in rock: Mechanical, hydraulic and seismic behaviour and properties under normal stress

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of joints on seismic wave propagation is analyzed in terms of theories concerning the roughness of the two joint surfaces and their deformation under stress, and the results of laboratory measurements of seismic pulses transmitted across natural joints with different specific stiffnesses.
