In the Minami Nagaoka gas field, north-northeast to south-southwest trending break-out dominate. The trend of maximum horizontal stress is vertically crossing the break-out that means west-northwest to east-southeast. The minimum horizontal stress value estimated from hydraulic fracturing method is slightly smaller than overburden pressure. The maximum horizontal stress is 1.58 times larger than the minimum horizontal stress. The Green Tuff in this field is expected to be in a strike-slip faulting regime, and the estimated differential stress at the depth of 4, 300m is about 490ksc. The Green Tuff exposed to tectonic stress largely exceeding the horizontal stress of a standard overburden pressure state. Therefore the dominant trend of opening fractures is assessed to be controlled by subsurface stress and to be parallel to the maximum horizontal stress.The results of triaxial compression test show that different lithofacies exhibit different stress-strain profile. This implies that the Green Tuff has the inner stress distribution controlled by lithological variation. Therefore, it is highly possible that the difference in deformation behavior, such as brittleness or ductility of the lithofacies in reservoir creates the environment in which remnant stress and local opening fractures are maintained in the Green Tuff reservoir.The combination of the regional tectonic stress and local stress distribution caused by lithofacies's variation is likely to control the distribution of opening fractures and therefore quality of the Green Tuff reservoir.
