Summary
Analogue samples of shale from key formations in Europe UK Germany will be selected collected and fracked in unique polyaxial experimental apparatus at the University of Edinburgh Samples with a diameter of 20 cm and length of 20 cm will be placed under in situ conditions of anisotropic stress temperature and fluid pressure Injection will be simulated by including a central well in the sample and fluid injected until the sample fracks
