A crack-containing shale stability evaluation device mainly comprises a kettle, a
temperature control assembly connected with the kettle, a pressure
assembly connected with the kettle, a
back pressure control
assembly, a gas source supply control assembly, a
liquid medium assembly connected with the kettle, a core deformation measuring assembly connected with the kettle, and a data measuring and collecting assembly, wherein the kettle is used for fixing a core and simulating the environment around the core; the
temperature control assembly is controlled to heat the core, control the temperature and simulate the actual temperature of a stratum; the pressure assembly is used for exerting confining pressure, required by experiments, on the core to simulate stratum burden pressure; the
back pressure control assembly is used for
back pressure control of the core; the gas source supply control assembly is used for providing a constant-pressure gas source on a core inlet end; the
liquid medium assembly is used for providing
clean water or
slurry for the core and simulating the
pressure action of
drilling fluid circulation; the core deformation measuring assembly is used for measuring core deformation; the data measuring and collecting assembly is connected with the assemblies and used for obtaining expansion strain, the crack core pore
pressure propagation rule and pressure penetration period monitoring results.
