The exploration of oil/gas in the petroleum industry presents a lot of issues both during and after the drilling process, such as wellbore stability, formation clogging, and cementation. Understanding the chemo-mechanical alterations caused by drilling activities to the surrounding formations has been a crucial part of a successful drilling operation. However, as multi-phases, multi-scales, heterogeneous composites, the mechanical properties of rock can vary significantly with its diverse constituent minerals (e.g., quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals) and sometimes hard to be characterized due to the availability of rock samples (i.e., cylindrical core samples are arduous to acquired especially at deep formations). …
