Experimental methods

Geomechanical characterization of gas shale reservoir under in-situ stress condition:

  • Full scale geomechanical characterization from laboratory to field stimulation scale of unconventional gas shale in the Canning Basin. Measurement of rock mechanical and ultrasonic waveform under in-situ stress condition in the CSIRO’s Geomechanics & Geophysics Lab with Autonomous Triaxial cell.
  • Non-contact measurement of elastic properties from Laser ultrasonic
  • Microstructure, pore volume and pore geometry investigation with Helium Pycnometer, CT-scan, NMR, SEM, LPNA
