“…are more sparsely distributed and were mainly observed in the Utica Shale. BPF could only be observed at shallow depths, but are assumed to be present deeper, based on other studies examining shale successions (Gale et al, 2007;Gale et al, 2015;Wang and Gale, 2016).…”

“…The rock fabric is very tight and compact with nanometer-scale pathways and nano-Darcy permeability [3,13], but it is inundated with innumerable natural fractures. This fracture network follows a characteristic power-law relationship between the fracture aperture and frequency [14,15], which dictates its transport properties [16]. Following this power-law relation, the prevalence of smaller 'micro-fractures' are expected in these fabrics but they are extremely difficult to resolve through common characterization techniques.…”
