Abstract
Cryogenic fracturing with liquid nitrogen (LN2) offers the benefits of reducing the water consumption and adverse environmental impacts induced by water-based fracturing, as well as potentially enhancing the fracture complexity. We performed a series of laboratory experiments to explore the key mechanisms governing the breakdown pressures of shale during cryogenic fracturing. In this study, cylindrical shale samples were pre-conditioned by...
