Abstract Estimates of the in situ stress tensor in sedimentary basins can be inferred from information gathered during the drilling and logging of hydrocarbon exploration wells. Principal stress magnitudes can be obtained from information provided by density logs, drilling histories, leak-off test results and pore pressure measurements. Horizontal principal stress orientations are indicated by borehole breakouts recorded on four-arm dipmeter logs. The stress magnitude estimates are comparable with values obtained from hydraulic fracturing and the orientation data provide a level of detail hitherto unobtainable. The information obtained assists in designing hydraulic fractures, in secondary recovery programmes and in obtaining optimum drill bit performance. It also contributes to understanding lithospheric plate movements, crustal subsidence and tectonic deformation.
