Abstract
Summary
This paper describes applications of wireline stress measurements based on the microhydraulic fracturing and packer fracturing techniques.
New testing and interpretation procedures have been developed. These procedures make it possible to obtain reliable measurements of the minimum horizontal stress and also the maximum horizontal stress in a near-vertical openhole environment, or to conduct tests in a cased-hole environment.
Examples of stress tests carried out in a wide range of formations are presented, with applications to the design of hydraulic stimulations, the stability of deviated wells, screenless completions for sand control, and enhanced recovery programs.
