The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate hydraulic fracture geometry in the naturally-fractured Antrim Shale. As part of this research, stress profiling and numerous hydraulic fracture experiments were performed. The research project performed field-based studies to better understand hyraulic fracture growth in the Antrim. This understanding will make it possible to verify the optimal stimulation treatment for operators to use during the next five years. The research results succeeded in determining how hydraulic fractures grow in the Antrim Shale formation.
