The discrete fracture network (DFN) approach offers many key advantages over conventional dual porosity approaches when the geometry and properties of discrete fractures play a significant role in geomechanics, and resource assessment (Dershowitz & Doe 1988).
The »Z« natural gas field is located in the southern part of the Fore-Sudetic Monocline, in the western part of Poland. Rotliegend sandstones, characterized by good reservoir properties are located in the Polish part of the Southern Permian Basin (Gast et al. 2010). The »Z« gas deposit was discovered in 1978.

The properties and response of shale are important for the petroleum industry in shale gas research. Brittleness is a common term used to describe how rocks fail and is considered a key parameter for hydraulic fracturing initiation and propagation in low permeability rock (Hucka & Das 1974, Holt et al. 2007). The aim of this study is the prediction of shale mechanical properties of the Lower Paleozoic shale rocks.
