A Review of Brittleness Index Correlations for Unconventional Tight and Ultra-Tight Reservoirs

A Review of Brittleness Index Correlations for Unconventional Tight and Ultra-Tight Reservoirs

Rock brittleness is pivotal in the development of the unconventional reservoirs. However, the existence of various methods of calculating the brittleness index (BI) such as the mineral-based brittleness index (MBI), the log-based brittleness index (LBI), and the elastic-based brittleness index (EBI)...
