Evaluation on the anisotropic brittleness index of shale rock using geophysical logging

The brittleness index plays a significant role in the hydraulic fracturing design and wellbore stability analysis of shale reservoirs. Various brittleness indices have been proposed to characterize the brittleness of shale rocks, but almost all of them ignored the anisotropy of the brittleness index...
