..., the fluid injected is cooler than the reservoir temperature that for large injection times and volumes will result in a lowering of the minimum horizontal stresses in zones that have fluid leak-off. This result is a lower bottomhole treatment pressure and more contained fracture. If the thermal front...

Engineered staging where perforation intervals are selected based on minimum horizontal stress along the lateral has proven to be more effective and increased production contribution...

.... In this study, pore pressure and minimum horizontal stress are assessed in the Utica and Point-Pleasant play using easy-to-acquire data and traditional poro-elastic concepts. The result exposes the existence of significant in-situ stress variations in the play and suggests that changes in kerogen maturity...

... assumptions in conventional laboratory measuritalicent are not appropriate for organic-shale formations, and, therefore, they can result in uncertainties in stress prediction.
