Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method for treating a geologic formation that includes providing a hydraulic fracture model, providing a first value representative of a volume of kerogen breaker in a fracturing fluid, determining a discrete fracture network (DFN) based on the hydraulic fracture model and the first value, determining a geomechanical model based on the DFN and a reservoir model based on the DFN, determining a hydrocarbon production volume based on the geomechanical model and the reservoir model, adjusting the first value based on the hydrocarbon production volume, and adjusting a volume of kerogen breaker in the fracturing fluid to a hydrocarbon reservoir based on the adjusted first value.

Abstract: Nano-indentation test to determine mechanical properties of reservoir rock can be implemented as multi-stage or single-stage tests. An experimental nano-indentation test (multi-stage or single-stage) is performed on a solid sample. A numerical nano-indentation test (multi-stage or single-stage) is performed on a numerical model of the solid sample. One or more experimental force-displacement curves obtained in response to performing the experimental nano-indentation test and one or more numerical force-displacement curves obtained in response to performing the numerical test are compared. Multiple mechanical properties of the solid sample are determined based on a result of the comparing.

Abstract: A method for extracting natural gas or petroleum-based products, including: introducing shape memory alloy beads into a wellbore with hydraulic fracturing fluid to form a bridge comprising shape memory alloy beads in a tertiary path, where the shape memory alloy beads forming the bridge have a first phase, and the hydraulic fracturing fluid has an initial hydraulic fracturing fluid flow rate across the bridge; applying a pressure to transform the shape memory alloy beads to a second phase, where deforming the shape memory alloy beads causes the hydraulic fracturing fluid to have a second hydraulic fracturing fluid flow rate across the bridge.
