Abstract
Knowledge of the state of stress of the Earth’s crust is required for a better understanding of the nature of tectonic processes and for earthquake prediction. In addition, the information about the in situ stress field is necessary for optimizing petroleum recovery, for the evaluation of borehole stability, for the choice of the optimum density of the drilling mud, and for solving some other problems of deep and super-deep drilling.
