Borehole slotting method involves cutting different 25-mm deep slots at the wall of a wellbore using a diamond saw. The cut slots form a half circle as shown in figure 16. The strain changes before, during, and after cutting the slots, are measured using a sensor and converted into stress readings. This method helps avoid the high cost of using other in-situ measurement methods.
