Influence of quartz types on mechanical parameters in the early silurian Longmaxi shale, Sichuan Basin

Abstract Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in shales, occurring predominantly in three forms: biogenic quartz (BQ), detrital quartz (DQ) and clay-transformed quartz (CTQ). The content of quartz is typically correlated with the fracability of shale gas reservoirs. However, the origins of qu...
