An integrated well data analysis for in-situ stress estimation

In this paper we obtain in-situ stress information based on two methods. The first one consists in matching borehole deformations to the modelling of linear poroelasticity equations around a hole in a plate that is subjected to effective compressive horizontal stresses. Knowing the formation paramet...
