Hydraulic fracturing for in situ stress measurements - a simulation and experimental study
Hydraulic fracturing is a technique which has been used largely for estimating the subsurface stress state. This technique is best applicable in low permeable formations which are ideally homogeneous and continuum. Performing an in situ hydraulic fracture test, the induced fracture tends to propagat...
