1. A method of determining three-dimensional fracture geometry in a subterranean region of interest, comprising:
obtaining a strain tensor for the subterranean region of interest;
calculating a set of principal strain components from the strain tensor;
determining a strain cyclide from the set of principal strain components;
calculating a set of quadrimodal fault normal vectors from the strain cyclide;
determining an in-plane shear strain magnitude and a shear strain orientation associated with a quadrimodal fault from the set of quadrimodal fault normal vectors; and
determining a hydrocarbon reservoir development plan based, at least in part, on the in-plane shear strain magnitude and the shear strain orientation,
wherein the hydrocarbon reservoir development plan comprises a wellbore trajectory planned to penetrate a hydrocarbon reservoir within the subterranean region of interest.
