Abstract
A method for shale fracturing includes determining dynamic-elastic properties of a shale deposit in a geological formation. A training database is generated by three-dimensional fracture modeling. A neural network is generated in response to output results of the training database. The shale fracturing may then be performed based on the neural network.
