Fracture network reconstruction is still a challenging topic for hydrocarbon production because of the heterogeneity and complexity of the stress fields, which lead to limited accuracy of fracture orientation...

The developed model considers the in-situ stress magnitudes and faulting stress regimes to analyze local stresses around the perforations to predict the fracture-initiation pressure and orientation. Fracture propagation is outside of the scope of study. Development of the Proposed Model Stress Distribution...

Because the operator is seeking potential opportunities for additional oil recovery, efforts are made to under- stand the flow communication among wells and fracture orientation in the field. Extensive interwell transient data have been collected from carefully designed...

... layers of composite tape are welded by laser to form the pipe wall laminate (Fig. 1). This laminate can be any thickness and orientation of fibers, with the function of providing the strength and stiffness of the pipe. Once manufactured, the function of the inner-pipe precursor is to provide high...

... if the natural fractures are aligned in a certain orientation or the propagation of stress and slippage is related to the developing fracture. The microseismic data suggest a dominance of strike/slip failures because the log of S h / P changes with a 90° rotation. If the data had plotted more as with a 180...

... the tool. Introduction For directional drilling to be successful, it is important that the drillers have information on the orientation of the tool while they are drilling so they can best align the wellbore orientation to the reservoir target. Commonly, this is achieved with a measurement-while-drilling...
