Abstract
Over the last few years, interest in shales has sky-rocketed through their emergence as productive reservoirs in gas shale plays. Considerable interest in shale properties has also been generated through anomalous responses in shales, as opposed to in reservoirs, in highly expensive 4D seismic surveys. These issues have led to a surge in the amount of research being performed on shales and specifically, significant interest in shale properties, especially in the rock physics, petrophysics and geomechanics domains.
