1. A computer-implemented method to determine placement of fracture initiation points along a wellbore, the method comprising:
(a) analyzing formation samples of one or more intervals along the wellbore; (b) determining a total clay content, elevated factor redox metal, and relative brittleness index of the formation samples; and (c) outputting a fracture optimization log which plots the total clay content, elevated factor redox metal, and relative brittleness index of the one or more intervals along the wellbore, wherein the placement of the fracture initiation points is determined based upon the fracture optimization log. |
