Sealing of oil-gas reservoir caprock: Destruction of shale caprock by micro-fractures
The sealing ability of caprock is affected by many factors, such as cap thickness, displacement pressure, fracture development, and lithology of caprock. Shale is one of the ideal materials for oil and gas sealing cap formation due to its low porosity and permeability. Microfractures can destroy the...
