... elastic medium, the magnitude of the in-plane far-field principal stresses ( 1 , 2 ) and their orientation ( ) can be uniquely determined. However, the Kirsch Solution has limitations, since the two-dimensionality is applicable only for conditions of plane strain or plane stress; and in reality...

... observations were obtained through scanlines perpendicular to main fracture sets. Over them, fracture modes, orientation, spatial arrangement, hydraulic and kinematic aperture and mechanical stratigraphy were described. Cement composition and abundance were also identified. All these items showed different...

... results is the possibility to quantify the near-well changes in (1) the orientation and (2) magnitude of the local principal stress relative to the far-field stress, as inputs for commercial simulators to design the optimum trajectory and treatment plan for infill wells. 1. INTRODUCTION Hydrocarbon...

.... Orientation of in-situ stress also plays a key role. This paper explores the relationship between the orientation of the failure observed in an advanced thick wall cylinder (ATWC) test and the measured velocity profile in an azimuthal velocity anisotropy (AVA) measurement. Integration of a high accuracy load...
