Shale makes up about three-fourths of drilled formations. Even though the engineering properties of shale have been studied for several decades, shale engineering is still prone to unexpected instabilities and delays, representing a serious problem for the petroleum, mining and civil engineering industry. Distinct characteristics of shale make it exceptionally difficult to work with; three categories of potential stability problems in shale are mechanical problems, chemical reactivity and swelling, and thermal stimulation. When a number of these problems occur simultaneously, finding an optimized solution becomes even more challenging.Shale Engineering provides an integrative engineering approach to work towards practical solutions in handling shale. Accordingly, shale is defined and described from both an engineering and geological point of view. Elasticity and poroelasticity concepts, shale’s response to temperature changes, and finally chemical properties of shale and the impact thereof on the rock’s behavior are discussed in detail.In addressing the engineering aspects and parameters related to chemical, mechanical and thermal properties and integrating them into engineering models that can be applied in deep engineering projects, mining and other civil works, this book will serve as a reference to model designers and engineers working with shale in the petroleum industry and elsewhere. It is also suited for use in academic and professional courses in petroleum, mining, geological and civil engineering and drilling.Preface 1 Insight into shale 1.1 What is shale? 1.1.1 Shale: quick view 1.1.2 Shale: detailed definition 1.2 Shale minerals 1.3 Molecular structure of clay 1.4 Varieties of clay minerals 1.4.1 Smectite group 1.4.2 Vermiculite 1.4.3 Kaolin group 1.4.4 Illite 1.4.5 Interstratified clays 1.5 Cation exchange capacity 1.6 Cation exchange capacity (CEC) models 1.6.1 The general concept of shale formation models 1.6.2 Waxman and Smits shale model 1.7 Laboratory measurements of cation exchange capacity 1.7.1 Background 1.7.2 Materials and methods 1.7.3 pH control on CEC 1.8 Permeability in shale 1.8.1 Effect of pressure on permeability 1.9 Shale porosity importance 1.9.1 Effect of depth and pressure on porosity 1.9.2 Importance of micro-fabrics 1.9.3 Relationships between porosity and mechanical properties 1.9.4 Porosity as a geomechanical index 1.10 pH Effect on shear modulus 1.11 Shale importance in waste disposal 1.12 Significance of shale in the petroleum industry References 2 Shale classification 2.1 Geological classification of shale 2.2 Engineering classification of shale 2.2.1 Rock strength 2.2.2 Durability and slaking 2.2.3 Fissility in comparison with lamination 2.2.4 Swelling and shrinkage of clay soil and rock 2.2.5 Moisture content 2.2.6 Disintegration 2.2.7 Excess pore water pressure 2.2.8 Common tests performed on shale 2.2.9 Integrated shale features consideration 2.3 Understanding subsurface shale 2.3.1 Inter-layer water in shale 2.3.2 Shale compaction 2.4 Smectite/illite conversiob 2.4.1 Classification and general trends 2.4.2 Carbonate occurrence in shale 2.4.3 Kaolinite response to environmental changes 2.4.4 Shale composition and drilling suggestion 2.5 Stability diagrams of shale minerals 2.6 Kinetics of clay mineral 2.6.1 Montmorillonite 2.6.2 Illite 2.6.3 Kaolinite References 3 Swelling fundamentals 3.1 Drilling fluids 3.2 Shale and drilling muds 3.3 Common problems when drilling through shales 3.3.1 Mechanical view 3.3.2 Practical view 3.3.3 Prevention and procurement 3.4 Pressure and chemical performance in shale 3.5 Transport in shales 3.6 Clay-water interactions 3.7 Electrical surfaces of clay particles 3.8 Clay hydration 3.9 Involved forces in swelling 3.10 Swelling phenomenon;
