.... Finally, a new 3D geomechanical workflow that accounts for 3D fracture planes and interfaces was introduced and illustrated on an Eagle Ford well. The natural fractures are represented using explicit discontinuities estimated from seismic data. The workflow was used to reproduce field observations from...
