This inconsistency introduces errors because of the neglected anisotropy of the shale. This work gives explicit expressions for these errors, in terms of the anisotropy parameters δ, ε, and γ, which are familiar from seismic analysis Permalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/segam2013-1080.1FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByInvestigation on the Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Mechanism of Lime-Clay Lamina in Continental ShaleHans Journal of Civil Engineering, Vol. 11, No. 04Frac Hit Prevention and Engineered Treatment Design in the Permian Basin Using In-Situ Stress from 3D SeismicMichael Shoemaker*, James Hawkins, John Becher, Veronica Gonzales, Sandeep Mukherjee, Reza Garmeh, and David Kuntz16 October 2019Effect of anisotropy, angle, and critical tensile stress and confining pressures on evaluation of shale brittleness index — Part 1: Methodology and laboratory studyQing Wang, Bo Zhang, Shiguang Guo, and Jianguang Han3 July 2019 | Interpretation, Vol. 7, No. 3Calculating far-field anisotropic stress from 3D seismic in the Permian BasinMichael Shoemaker, Santhosh Narasimhan, Shane Quimby, and James Hawkins5 February 2019 | The Leading Edge, Vol. 38, No. 2Rock heterogeneity at the centimeter scale, proxies for interfacial weakness, and rock strength-stress interplay from downhole ultrasonic measurementsSmaine Zeroug, Bikash K.
