Compressibility characteristics and modification effect of coal reservoirs in Longtan Formation, Nanchuan area, southeast Chongqing by Jinxian LIU, Tao GUO, Yatong ZHOU, Dongyang LI, Xiaobo JIN

“…Mudstone roof plates with high clay mineral content are brittle, prone to fracturing, and susceptible to swelling upon water contact, which are the major causes for spalling risks and impact horizontal well drilling rate. (4) Irregular natural fractures can lead to fracture propagation and fracture height control failure, while regular fractures that align with the direction of maximum principal stress facilitate artificial fracture propagation and contribute to effective reservoir modification.…”
