Figure 8.10 Schematic of anisotropic core holder and related CT parts: 1 e Rubber
sleeve, 2 e Load block, 3 e Steel sleeve, 4 e CT scanner, 5 e X-ray source, 6 e Shale
core, 7 e Fluid for radial confining pressure application, 8 e Test solution injected
into shale, and 9 e Fluid for axial confining pressure application.
Figure 8.11 (1) An example core used in the experiment, a hole with dimensions of
15 mm length and 13 mm diameter was drilled from the core inlet surface; (2) images
near the hole; (3) images far away from the hole.
