Finding the "best" direction
for a production well.
In an anisotropic pervious
rock medium, such as a fractured reservoir, the best orientation
of a well for the most efficient drainage of an oil field,
could be deduced from the orientation of the permeability
ellipsoid.
Thus, the orientation of an
production well should be sub-parallel to the K3 vector.
Statistically the best spatial distribution of the K3
vector is found drawing a K3 density stereonet and determining
the mean lineation vector.
