Abstract
Summary
In the paper the approach previously proposed by the authors (using microimager data on fractures to determine horizontal stresses) is applied for the case when no information regarding the regional stress regime is resent. It is shown that the analysis of fractures’ orientation and activity may be used to considerably decrease the uncertainty in the horizontal stresses profiles. The approach was applied for one oil reservoir and made it possible to define the value of the minimum horizontal stress for the region and also proved the stress regime in the region.
