Abstract: The article discusses the successful drilling of lateral wells in minimum horizontal stress direction for optimal fracture placement. According to the author, Saudi Aramco is developing several gas fields in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia by drilling horizontal wells in the Khuff and pre-Khuff tight carbonate and sandstone formations. The author adds that many wells have been drilled in the maximum horizontal stress direction with virtually no wellbore instability.
