Abstract
We evaluated in-situ-stress magnitudes and directions to support water flood improvement programs in McElroy field and North Westbrook Unit. In-situ-stress and hydraulic-fracture directions coincided with direct ional floodwater effects. This information contributed to successful w aterflood realignment programs.
