Borehole elongation in 71 drill holes was used to infer breakout orientation and directions of maximum horizontal principal stress S_H for six areas west of the San Andreas fault in southern California: Santa Barbara, Ojai, Central Ventura Basin, East Ventura Basin, West Los Angeles Basin, and East Los Angeles Basin. Breakouts were determined from analysis of oriented four-arm caliper data. The breakouts form at the position of the maximum compressive stress on the borehole wall; if the borehole is vertical and parallel to one of the principal stress directions, the breakouts will form parallel to the minimum horizontal principal stress S_h orthogonal to the maximum horizontal principal stress S_H. Observations from deviated boreholes permi...
