In petroleum engineering, determining in situ stresses and breakout dimensions are crucial.
Nowadays, hydraulic fracturing is a frequently used method for identifying in stresses and …

The deformation of the middle to lower crust in collisional settings occurs via deformation
mechanisms that vary with rock composition, fluid content, pressure, and temperature. These …

After drilling a borehole in the ground and in a rocky environment, the materials around the
borehole are crushed and separated in layers from the borehole wall; this causes the …

During continental collision, large tracts of crust are mobilized along major shear zones. The
metamorphic conditions at which these zones operate, the duration of thrusting, and the …

Geophysical logs collected from a deep borehole drilled into the North American Craton in
Northeastern Alberta shed valuable light on the state of stress in stable cratons. Observed …

Abstract The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute Underground Research Tunnel
(KURT) is an underground research laboratory in South Korea, built for investigations into …

This study contributes to geothermal exploration in 1660–1520 Ma old, reworked bedrock in
Sweden. Our primary objectives are to constrain the orientation of horizontal stresses, and to …

Abstract Knowledge of the contemporary in‐situ stress orientations in the Earth's crust can
improve our understanding of active crustal deformation, geodynamic processes, and …

Abstract The Seve Nappe Complex is a subduction‐related high‐grade metamorphic unit
that was emplaced onto the margin of Baltica during Caledonian orogenesis. In this paper …

Ultrasonic image logs acquired in the DFDP‐2B borehole yield the first continuous,
subsurface description of the transition from schist to mylonite in the hangingwall of the …
