A data processing algorithm proposed for identification of breakout zones in tight formations: A case study in Barnett gas shale

Due to low permeability of tight gas shale, production in commercial quantities requires effective hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling technologies. Therefore, understanding rock properties and earth's stresses is an important step toward reservoir evaluation and ultimately development...
