Abstract:The evaluation and estimation of in-situ stress regimes are vital in many subsurface engineering processes such as borehole stability in deep well drilling, hydraulic fracturing design, water injection for pressure maintenance, geothermal recovery, and geological carbon sequestration.
For complex lithology and highly laminated rock formations such as an organic-rich shale gas reservoir or a clay-rich overburden caprock, the anisotropic mechanical rock properties can be described as transversely … Show more
