What is it about?
The increase in energy demand has shifted the interest of petroleum companies to unconventional reservoirs. The production from shale gas reservoir depends upon the effective understanding of the influence of brittleness and organic content on brittle-ductile behavior. In this work, a very important candidate for shale gas in Pakistan; Sember formation from Indus basin is studied for the brittle-ductile transition. The areas in the wells ideal for hydraulic fracturing are marked on the basis of reservoir attributes and brittle-ductile transition.

Why is it important?
The observations of this study support the previous research idea by suggesting the zones of brittle and transition controlled by TOC to design the hydraulic fracture more efficient. Our study encompasses the inter relationship of brittle-ductile transition and rock attributes of shale gas formation.
Perspectives
This research work is an important source to understand the behavior of brittle-ductile nature in shale gas reservoirs.
