IN SITU STRESS ESTIMATION METHODS AND THE INTEGRATION OF NUMERICAL MODELLING FOR STRESS RECONSTRUCTION AND FUTURE STRESS EVOLUTION

IN SITU STRESS ESTIMATION METHODS AND THE INTEGRATION OF NUMERICAL MODELLING FOR STRESS RECONSTRUCTION AND FUTURE STRESS EVOLUTION

A reliable estimation of in situ stress orientation and magnitude is necessary for determining wellbore stability in the oil and gas industry, or assessing excavation stability for mining and civil engineering projects. Methods of stress estimation in deep borehole investigations are generally limi...
