Rundle, T A

Hydrofracturing tests are to be performed to obtain information regarding the magnitudes and the orientations of the principal stresses in the candidate repository horizons at the reference repository location. The tests are to be carried out in borehole RRL-2 located in the central portion of the reference repository location, A-H Site. This series of tests is to be limited to the performance of a maximum of 12 tests in borehole RRL-2. Six of the tests will be performed in the Umtanum flow and six in the middle Sentinel Bluffs flow. Borehole intervals to be tested will be chosen after careful examination of core logs and core photographs. 6 refs., 3 figs.
