Figure 20.
(A) For the speck ellipticities between 10 and 30, the time to create a connected fracture network decreases with the increasing Young’s modulus (E ). The maximum time difference in the Tuwaiq Mountain Formation is 5 Ma. This time difference has noticeably affected evolution of the pore overpressure until today. (B) A wide range of tensile strengths (T ) of kerogen specks has a negligible effect on crack initiation time.
