Minimum stress and pore fluid pressure in sedimentary basins
Leak-off pressures (LOPs) recorded during leak-off tests (LOTs) conducted down boreholes are often used to estimate the magnitude of the minimum stress (usually assumed to be horizontal – S(_h)) in the subsurface. However, the reliability of these tests has previously been questioned in the literatu...
