Abstract

There is an ever increasing need to quantify the in situ properties of barriers and pay zones in order to assess the potential for fracture con- tainment and to optimize stimulation treatment design. A major testing program has been con- ducted jointly by Dome Petroleum Ltd., Dowell and Schlumberger to compare laboratory-measured mechanical properties with those determined by well logging.
