Modified Fracture Mechanics Approach for Hydraulic Fracturing Stress Measurements

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) test has been widely used to determine in situ stress. The use of a conventional continuum method for this purpose has raised considerable controversies concerning field tests, particularly in the determination of the maximum horizontal principal stress under preexisting fr...
