Effects Of Formation Stress On Logging Measurements

We show both theoretically and experimentally how stress concentrations affect the velocity field around a borehole surrounded by a formation with intrinsic ortohombic anisotropy. When F[subscript x] = F[subscript y], no extra anisotropy is induced, however, isotropic stress concentrations are dev...
