Abstract The knowledge of rock mechanical properties is critical to reducing drilling risk and maximizing well and reservoir productivity. Rock chemical composition, their spatial distribution, and porosity significantly influenced these properties. However, low porosity characterized unconventional reservoirs as such, geochemical properties considerably control their mechanical behavior. In this study, we used chemostratigraphy as a correlation tool to separate strata in highly homogenous formations where other traditional stratigraphic methods failed. In addition, we integrated the chemofacies output and reduced Young's modulus to outline predictable associations between facies and mechanical properties. Thus, providing better understanding of lithofacies-controlled changes in rock strength that are useful inputs for geomechanical models and completions stimulations.

Physical and mechanical properties of the polymeric sand used as floor covering in cattle stalls were investigated. Samples of the polymeric sand were tested under static and dynamic stress, an impact test was done, mechanical characteristics were measured, and the material structural efficiency was evaluated. The polymeric sand tile appeared strong, reliable and durable material. The study material exhibited viscoelasticity. The polymeric sand samples demonstrated impact viscosity in the range 242,3– 548,3 kJ/m2 . The figure was 3,5–13,7 times higher than that of gray cast iron and was comparable with some classes of carbon structural steel. Mechanical properties of the polymeric sand were analysed. The characteristics revealed in the analysis can be used in dimensioning and designing products made from polymeric sand under various strength indices.
