Abstract
In this work, borehole image and sonic data from a highly deviated borehole were integrated with outcrop studies to characterize natural fractures and develop a 3D fracture network. Then geomechanical analysis was performed to determine the stress regime and magnitude around the wellbore which was then incorporated into the study to define the critically stressed fractures which are most prone to production as well as breakthrough.
