==Stress and poisson's ratio variation==
Although the variables used to calculate the fracture pressure commonly are generalized as a smooth curve, there are local variations and departures from this generalized curve. The principal horizontal stress, ε<sub>3</sub>* and Poisson's ratio depend on lithology and bed geometry as well as depth and compaction.<ref name=ch10r52 />
