In carbon storage activities, and in shale oil and gas extraction (SOGE) with carbon dioxide (CO₂) stimulation fluid, CO₂ comes into contact with shale rock and its pore fluid. As a reactive fluid, the injected CO₂ displays a large potential to modify the shale’s chemical, physical, and mechanical p...

Shale rock physics may be used for improved monitoring of subsurface changes in and around a depleting reservoir. It is shown how rock physics plays a key role in interpreting time-lapse (4D) seismic into geomechanical attributes as changed stresses, strains and pore pressure. This knowledge is of i...

Since shales are the far most abundant overburden formation, understanding the geomechanical and rock physics behavior of shales is essential. We discuss a particular deep overburden shale in light of a thorough static and dynamic multi-directional data acquisition, as a basis for complete static an...
