Fracture and in-situ stress characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs / Разломы и напряженные свойства массива в УВ-коллекторах

Fracture and in-situ stress characterization is fast-evolving as an essential part of characterizing hydrocarbon reserviors. In this book, the Geological Society presents a selection of sixteen chapters that demonstrate the tools, methods, analysis, interpretation and application of this subject. These are of great interest to researchers and scientists in the industry and academia. This chapter includes definitions pertinent to the subject of the book and gives an overview of the papers, classified into seven major themes according to the nature of the studies.
