... The formation stress distribution around the wellbore is the calculation of the vertical, tangential and radial stresses at any point around the wellbore under specific conditions based on the vertical principal stress, horizontal maximum principal stress and minimum principal stress. Based...

Shorter spacing between adjacent hydraulic fractures can increase the percentage of the formation volume between them that contains activated natural fractures. orientation natural fracture activation minimum principal stress hydraulic fracturing inclination angle shear failure...

... cases, as long as a single planar fracture has formed, the best pick for the minimum principal stress is at the deviation from linearity on the G*dP/dG plot, whether or not this departure is concave up or concave down. Closure picks via a tangent to near the peak in G*dP/dG (as is commonly performed...

... a tendency for shear stimulation (TSS) test as a direct, relatively unambiguous method for determining the degree to which shear stimulation contributes to stimulation in a formation. In a TSS test, fluid is injected at a bottomhole pressure that is maintained below the minimum principal stress. Under...
