    ductility are manipulated to illustrate the deformation behaviors when rocks are experience certain stress. A rock is considered to be ductile if it consumes a high amount energy before fracturing. Brittle rocks are unable to accommodate high strain before fracturing‚ resulting in open microfractures after hydraulic fracturing. In other hand‚ the conventional reservoirs brittleness is mainly used to evaluate the drillability in drilling operations‚ sawability in rock cutting analysis ‚ and mechanical winning
