Australia is the world sixth – largest country.
Population of 21 million people.
Large mineral resources, including coal, oil and natural gas.
Electricity generation is dominated by coal-fired plants.
GHG emission intensity is one of the highest in the world.
In 1997, Australian government announced a series of measures
designed to reduce the emissions of GHG.

Stochastic Discing Analysis (for details see Bunger AP, 2010, RMRE, 43(3):275-286)
• Assumes randomly varying in situ stresses and rock strength follow normal distributions.
• Discing occurs when the local stresses and rock strength conditions satisfy a failure criteria (Matsuki et al. (2004), IJRMMS)
• Monte Carlo technique used to predict disc length distributions for given in situ conditions
• Choose parameters of stress and strength distributions so that predicted disc length distributions matches measurements

25Trondheim - 10.03.2016
Conclusions
Analysis of breakouts, core-discing and hydraulic-fracturing tests yield consistently an
E-W orientation of the maximum horizontal stress SH.
The results of the different methods indicate that the vertical stress Sv is the minimum
principle stress, at least at the bottom of the investigated borehole section.
High horizontal stresses will favor the creation of horizontal fractures during
stimulation of the geothermal reservoir and will require operation pressure in the
order of the vertical stress.
High horizontal stresses were reported for the coal mines throughout the Eastern
Coal Basin of New South Wales as well as for the Cooper Basin.
Concluding Remark
Combination HF with HTPF
Stress profiles rather than singular measurements
Cost efficiency by using a wireline system
