Example Problem \#2 The Barnett Shale formation near Dallas-Forth Worth is subjected to a normal faulting stress regime. SHmax ? is in the N60?E direction (60? clockwise from North). What will the preferential direction to drill a horizontal well be in this region, in order to achieve ideally-oriented hydraulic fractures (transversely-tothe-wellbore)?
