A method includes identifying one or more stress regime types along at least a portion of a borehole, where the stress regime types are selected from a normal stress regime, a thrust stress regime and a strike-slip stress regime, and selecting reservoir access locations along the borehole based on the type of stress regime identified along the borehole.

Well completion technology is disclosed for resisting imbibing frack fluid into an inner surface of a frack. A frack fluid is pumped into the wellbore to form a fracture in a formation surrounding a wellbore. In one example, formation of transverse micro-fractures extending transverse to the fracture is resisted to resist absorption of the frack fluid into the formation through the inner face of the fracture, and into the transverse micro-fractures formed by the pumping of the frack fluid. In another example, a sealer is added to a frack fluid to sealing or coating an inner face of the fracture with the sealer. In another example, micro-particles with a size less than 100 microns are added to the frack fluid.

This disclosure relates to a method and a system for sequestering carbon-containing materials in underground wells. An example method includes: obtaining a material comprising a carbon-containing liquid; optionally testing the material for compatibility with an underground well; optionally adjusting a property of the material to improve the compatibility; and providing the material for injection into the underground well.

Provided in some embodiments are systems and methods for preparing oriented samples of a laminated rock having different lamination orientations, for each of different stress-levels, transmitting an acoustic pulse through each oriented sample while tri-axially compressing the oriented sample at the stress-level to generate test data indicative of acoustic velocities through the laminated rock at different combinations of lamination orientations and stress levels, determining acoustic velocities through the laminated rock at the different combinations of lamination orientations and stress levels based on the test data, generating a rock model for the laminated rock based on the acoustic velocities, and determining a property of a second laminated rock (e.g., total organic carbon (TOC) content) based on the rock model for the laminated rock.
