... Abstract Maximum horizontal stress (SHmax or SH) and associated horizontal stress anisotropy are some of the essential inputs for drilling and completion optimization such as 3D geomodel and geomechanical model building, drilling mud design and well trajectory analysis, solid production...

... Abstract Out-Of-Sequence Pinpoint Fracturing is a conceptual way of maximizing reservoir contact by creating fracture complexity via reducing or neutralizing the stress anisotropy to improve fracture conductivity and connectivity. A complex fracture network is formed by activating planes...

... Abstract The effects of the earth's tectonic movements are well understood, especially in the formulation of stress anisotropy in a large region. This primarily mechanical effect stays unchanged because the support systems, such as faults, compressions, etc., remain unchanged until the next...
