Abstract

The paper describes a multivariable statistical regression technique for computing the 3D stress tensor applied to the shut-in pressure data obtained on fractures during in-situ stress measurement by hydraulic fracturing in a short borehole. This method computes the mean value of components of the 3D stress tensor and their confidence intervals at a desired confidence level. This has been applied to the data of shut-in pressure from Narwapahar mine, India and Kamaishi mine, Japan. The computed in-situ stress tensor is corroborated with that obtained by other methods.
