... the predicted stress orientation and their impact on the performance of hydraulic fracturing jobs. These results were enabled by the use of validated geomechanical modeling that is able to easily handle the faults and natural fractures. This is implemented by using the material point method to address...

... process by exploiting the in-situ rock stress. Orienting the wellbore properly with respect to the principal horizontal stress direction helps to keep the fractures induced by the hydraulic fracturing process from closing. In the Devonian Marcellus play, deviating from the preferred wellbore orientation...

... were also performed to document the impact of stress orientation, stress anisotropy, and stress shadowing (intra- and inter-stage) on the distribution of hydraulic fractures. The UFM hydraulic fracture properties generated for each cluster were incorporated into a coordinate grid system with local...
