Abstract: A hydraulic fracturing system includes a perforating tool configured to perforate a casing of a well and a computing system communicatively coupled to the perforating tool. The computing system is configured to determine a plurality of geomechanical properties associated with a plurality of depths of the well and associated with a subterranean region adjacent to the well based on seismic data representative of the subterranean region; determine stress regime of each of the plurality of depths based on the plurality of geomechanical properties; classify at least one continuous interval of the plurality of depths as a critical net pay (CNP) region based on the stress regime of each depth of the at least one continuous interval; and send a command to the perforating tool to perforate the casing of the well at a depth associated with the CNP region within the at least one continuous interval.

Abstract: A method includes identifying one or more stress regime types along at least a portion of a borehole, where the stress regime types are selected from a normal stress regime, a thrust stress regime and a strike-slip stress regime, and selecting reservoir access locations along the borehole based on the type of stress regime identified along the borehole.
