In this paper, we present comprehensive data on stress orientation and relative magnitude
in areas throughout North America where unconventional oil and gas are currently being …

The stress field controls patterns of crustal deformation, including which faults are likeliest to
cause earthquakes or transmit fluids. Since the 1950s, maps of maximum horizontal stress …

To ensure the effectiveness of fracturing treatment and improve the production reserves of
individual wells, it is important to accurately predict the in situ stress distribution to prevent …

The seismicity rate in the Fort-Worth Basin, north-central Texas, increased significantly from
2008. Previous studies attributed the seismic events to pore pressure increase caused by …

Oriented perforating strategies have been proposed as a method of suppressing fracture
initiation pressures and optimizing the orientation of the initiated fractures, including a semi …

Geologic mapping, measured sections, and geochronologic data elucidate the
tectonostratigraphic development of the Titus Canyon extensional basin in Death Valley …

We conducted a comprehensive analysis of approximately 7000 horizontal wells drilled in
the Middle Bakken formation between 2007 and 2016 to assess the impact of well …

Amplitude variation with offset and azimuth (AVAz) methodologies are useful to calculate
parameters of the rock related to fractures. In this work, we used two methodologies to obtain …
