Abstract

Abstract

Fundamental principles on determination of horizontal maximum principal stress from wellbore damage information were summarized systematically. On the basis, analysis procedure for horizontal maximum principal stress was established. A field example was analyzed, and the procedure showed that the method had a reliable theoretical evidence, clear analysis procedure, and simple operation. The promotion of its application to petroleum industry in China is recommended.
