Effect of Rock Transverse Isotropy on Stress Distribution and Wellbore Fracture

Unconventional oil and gas, which is of major interest in petroleum industry, often occur in reservoirs with transversely isotropic rock properties such as shales. Overlooking transverse isotropy may result in deviation in stress distribution around wellbore and inaccurate estimation of fracture ini...
