Estimating perturbed stress from 3-D borehole displacements induced by fluid injection in fractured or faulted shales

Journal Article Guglielmi, Yves ; Nussbaum, Christophe ; Rutqvist, Jonny ; ... - Geophysical Journal International

SUMMARY Hydrofracturing stress measurements in fractured and anisotropic shales are notoriously difficult, because opening of existing geological features tends to prevent the creation of a pure hydraulic fracture perpendicular to the least compressive principal stress. Here we show how adding 3-D borehole-displacement measurements while conducting the hydraulic injection test helps to better constrain the principal stress orientations and magnitudes. We developed a 3-D fully coupled hydromechanical numerical model to analyse the displacement, fluid pressure and injection flow-rate data measured during an injection pressure-step-rate test conducted to activate a faulted borehole interval in the Mont Terri Opalinus Clay (Switzerland). We findmore »« less

Complex analysis of both drilling-induced tensile fractures and stress-induced borehole breakouts for estimating of 3-D in situ stress state

Conference Okabe, Takashi ; Shinohara, Nobuo ; Takasugi, Shinji

Hydraulic fracturing has been widely used as a method of measuring in-situ stresses in a borehole. It is generally assumed that one principal stress is parallel to the borehole axis and the magnitude is equivalent to the weight of overburden. Also it is sometimes hard to apply the method to a hostile environment such as geothermal. In the present paper, we describe a new method for determining the three-dimensional in-situ stress field using drilling-induced tensile fractures and stress-induced wellbore breakouts which are observed from a log such as the borehole televiewer (BHTV). We will show how we interpret the datamore »« less
Test plan to assess the feasibility of using a borehole deformation guage in the fracture interval while conducting hydraulic fracturing stress measurements

Technical Report

Tests are to be conducted at the Near-Surface Test Facility (NSTF) to evaluate the performance of a prototype hydrofrac/borehole deformation measurement device developed by the Engineering Development Department. Test results will be used to evaluate the performance of the instrument and define further development of the device for use in the Exploratory Shaft (ES) tests. This device may offer advantages over conventional methods of measuring rock mass deformational properties in a borehole. The test method to be developed during the course of testing can be used to assess the spatial variability of rock mass deformational properties at the ES facility.more » 8 figs.« less
Test plan for in situ stress measurement by the hydraulic fracturing method in boreholes RRL-6 and DC-4

Technical Report Rundle, T A

Hydrofracturing tests are to be performed to obtain experimental data regarding the magnitudes and orientations of the principal stresses in candidate repository horizons within the reference repository location (RRL). The tests are to be conducted in boreholes RRL-6 and DC-4 located in the reference repository location on the Hanford Site. This series of tests is to be limited to the performance of a maximum of 16 tests in each borehole. Basalt flows to be tested in borehole RRL-6 include the Rocky Coulee, Cohassett, McCoy Canyon, and Umtanum. Testing in borehole DC-4 will be in the Rocky Coulee and Cohassett basaltmore » flows.« less
Test plan for in situ stress measurement by hydraulic fracturing method in borehole RRL-2

Technical Report 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 carefulmore »« less
