Abstract
Abstract Microfrac or fall off injection test is a technique used to accurately measure minimum horizontal stress directly in the formation. However, other than being expensive and time consuming, this test does not give a continuous minimum horizontal stress profile. Continuous minimum horizontal stress profile is especially important for hydraulic fracturing design for the tight Montney formation. This study utilizes logging data and core reports to generate the minimum horizontal stress profile for two Montney wells in North East British Columbia. Specific value of tectonic stress determined from injection fall off analysis is also included in the calculation. The first method, conventional method, calculates minimum horizontal stress by solving linear poroelasticity equations with vertical stress equal to the overburden. Closure pressure from fall-off injection test is used as a calibration point to acquire tectonic stress. The second method incorporates the tectonic, thermal effect and rock mechanical properties at each incremental depth to generate the minimum horizontal stress. The third method, vertical transverse isotropy (VTI), is conducted assuming different rock properties on the vertical and horizontal direction and also different tectonic strain for the maximum and minimum direction. The conventional method yields the lowest minimum horizontal stress magnitude without any distinctive characteristic. On several zones, the VTI method shows higher stress magnitude above Montney and reveals some good zone containment for hydraulic fracturing design, which the conventional method does not provide. From the injection fall off analysis, a second closure pressure with lower value than the first closure is believed to represent the overburden stress. It is concluded that this area has a thrust fault regime in which overburden stress is the least principle stress.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
