Technical Report · Mon Jun 18 04:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:5793521

The information analyzed for fracture identification on the E.J. Evans 91 (Comprehensive Study Well 4A) included formation microscanner (FMS) data, whole core data, and borehole television information. While the FMS tool can be used to identify natural and induced fractures in the Devonian shale section, the comparative analysis shows that these fractures cannot be distinguished when using the borehole television camera. FMS data are included.
