UK in-situ stress field orientation from borehole breakouts and drilling induced tensile fractures identified using borehole imaging (2020)
This datasets contains 323 observations of borehole breakouts across and drilling induced tensile fractures from borehole imaging used to re-characterise the UK stress field orientation in 2016. This was published in the Journal of Marine and Petroleum Geology and is openly available using doi:10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2016.02.012 The observations relate to 39 wells from Central and Northern England and are provided with links to screen grabs of the images for clarity. The basic well meta data is supplied along with a description of the dataset. The Images were generated in the IMAGE DISPLAY module of the Landmark RECALL software. and are supplied on an “as shown” basis. Descriptions of the tools and the techniques used are listed in the accompanying paper: KINGDON, A., FELLGETT, M. W. & WILLIAMS, J. D. O. 2016. Use of borehole imaging to improve understanding of the in-situ stress orientation of Central and Northern England and its implications for unconventional hydrocarbon resources.

The images were derived from raw: Las, Lis and Dlis files held on the S drive. They were processed using the Landmark Recall Software. The breakouts and drilling induced tensile fractures were interpreted by Mark Fellgett and Andy Kingdon using the IMAGE DISPLAY module of the RECALL software.
