Hydraulic fracturing is a method by which planar fractures tens of meters in linear extend, can be generated in rock masses at depth. It is suggested that consideration be given to the potential of this method for estimating the permeability of rock masses. An instrument, The D.S.P. (Deep Stress Probe), for estimating in situ stresses at depth is briefly described. Based on the hydraulic fracturing technique, the D.S.P. could be modified to permit under some circumstances estimation both of stresses and mass permeability in a single borehole. In other cases, 2 adjacent boreholes would be necessary.
