This paper is the first of two that review recent research involving in situ stresses in sedimentary rocks and the geological and petroleum engineering applications of these data. Part I describes and discusses the most commonly used methods for measuring today's rock stresses in sedimentary rocks, in terms of Sv (vertical principal stress), SHmax (larger horizontal principal stress) and SHmin (smaller horizontal principal stress). Stress magnitudes may be obtained from density logs (Sv), from hydraulic fracture tests and leak-off tests (SHmm) as well as from core monitoring techniques (SHmin, SHmax). Borehole slotting holds promise for use in deep wells (SHmln, SHmax), but is not yet operational. Near-surface stress orientations (SHmin, SH...
