Advances in Wireline Conveyed In-situ Reservoir Stress Testing Measurements: Case Studies From the Sultanate of Oman

In-situ reservoir stress measurements are essential input to a wide variety of the production and injection applications of<br>reservoirs. Most of the reservoirs in this article require water injection to maximize recovery without breaking the matrices<br>unintentionally. In some cases, it is also important to create a controlled fracture growth in a formation unit without breaking<br>bordering barriers or zones. The main purpose of the in-situ reservoir stress testing of the case studies in this article is to<br>calculate the minimum stress to improve the reservoir management plans for well placement, production, injection and<br>fracturing processes.
