A method according to some embodiments comprises obtaining a formation sample from a borehole, identifying minerals present in a first portion of the formation sample and determining densities of the minerals. The method also comprises determining, using a second portion of the formation sample, material properties associated with the mineral densities. The method further comprises associating the material properties with the identified minerals using the mineral densities, and generating a log comprising the associations.

Attribute-indexed multi-instrument logging of drill cuttings

A method of treating a subterranean formation includes providing capsules comprising at least one of a mineral acid, a Lewis acid, a hydrolysable acid precursor, and mixtures thereof; providing a carrier fluid; placing the capsules and the carrier fluid into a zone in a shale formation, the zone comprising fractures; allowing the capsules to at least partially dissolve. Upon the hydrolysis of the acid, etching of the faces of the fractures occurs.

Methods for increasing the surface area of fractures or to increase the depth of penetration fractures in low permeability oil and gas reservoirs containing shale to increase productivity

The present disclosure relates to identifying potential fracture treatment locations in a rock formation for oil and/or gas production based on production potential. One example method includes receiving internal imaging data of a core sample of a rock formation; generating a digital core sample model of the structure of the core sample based on the internal imaging data; analyzing the core sample model to determine the density distribution of a deposit in the core sample; and determining a production potential value from the density distribution of the deposit.
