Abstract

Summary

The laminations in the organic shales influence the hydraulic fracture height because of the difference in mechanical properties measured normal and parallel to the bedding planes. Organic shales are considered as anisotropic media. Run sonic logs and generate the stress profile from these logs is a good practice to account the difference in mechanical properties in the vertical and horizontal direction (anisotropy).

Geomechanics analysis help to better understand the hydraulic fracture geometry for the stimulated volume in unconventional resources.
