Correcting for tool decentralization of oriented six-arm caliper logs for determination of contemporary tectonic stress orientation

Tool decentralization is a major problem in the analysis of six-arm caliper data, particularly in highly deviated wells. It precludes accurate determination of borehole geometry and hence, interpretation of borehole volume, stratigraphic horizons and present-day stress orientation. We test four meth...
