Reports from Hydrofracturing Tests Performed in the Greater Ruhr Region (Germany) between 1986 and 1995 M. Kruszewski, G. Klee, T. Niederhuber, and O. Heidbach https://doi.org/10.24406/fordatis/222

Short summary

The authors assemble an in situ stress magnitude and orientation database based on 429 hydrofracturing tests that were carried out in six coal mines and two coal bed methane boreholes between 1986 and 1995 within the greater Ruhr region (Germany). Our study summarises the results of the extensive in situ stress test campaign and assigns quality to each data record using the established quality ranking schemes of the World Stress Map project.
