Abstract

See full text

Techniques for identifying sweet spots in unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs are described. A rock sample is obtained from an unconventional hydrocarbon reservoir. The rock sample is evaluated using multiple rock sample evaluation techniques. A Young's modulus and a Poisson's ratio are determined for the rock sample. Geo-mechanical properties of the rock sample are determined based on results of evaluating the rock sample using the multiple rock sample evaluation techniques, the Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio. One or more sweet spots for production in the unconventional hydrocarbon reservoir are identified based, in part, on the geo-mechanical properties of the rock sample
