Figure 6.
(A) Tangential stress acts along the periphery a speck because of the internal pore pressure (Pp )—as it develops due to kerogen conversion—and local stresses act upon the speck. The stress values are extreme at θ = 0 and θ = π/2. (B) The kerogen speck with a crack. The crack aperture is wx , Rc is the crack radius, and Rk is the radius of the kerogen speck.
