Wholesale Fracturing of Carbonate Rocks during Subsidence
Tectonics, Geometry and Implications for Reservoir Studies
We constrain fracture networks in flat-lying shallow water carbonates producing fracture models at scale from cm-to tens of meters over a large area of several tens of km2.Imaging is integrated with structural observation on the ground and isotope studies on the vein infill. Stru

The Great Unknown in Fractured Reservoirs
The Impact of Three Models for Aperture and Flow in Fractured Reservoirs
Predicting equivalent permeability in fractured reservoirs requires an understanding of the fracture geometry and aperture, which cannot be fully sampled from subsurface data. We quantify for a range of aperture-size scaling models and the Barton-Bandis conductive shear model the

Burial-related fracturing in sub-horizontal and folded reservoirs
Geometry, geomechanics and impact on permeability
Outcrop fracture data sets can now be acquired with ever more accuracy using drone technology augmented by field observations. These models can be used to form realistic, deterministic models of fractured reservoirs. Fractured well test models are traditionally seen to be finite

Geometries of 2 fracture families in a carbonate pavement. Lengths of the fractures have been digitized and stored. The data is collected as part of a fieldwork to characterize natural fracture systems in a folded carbonate formation, with the aim of studying the role between lar
