Abstract
The Posidonia Shale Formation (PSF) is one of the possible resource shales for unconventional gas in Northern
Europe and currently is of great interest to hydrocarbon exploration and production. Due to low permeability of
shales, economically viable production requires hydraulic fracturing of the reservoir. The design of hydrofractures
requires an estimate of stress state within the reservoir and geomechanical properties such as Young’s modulus and
Poisson’s ratio.
