Method of determining subterranean formation fracture orientation
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5855052
A method of determining the orientation of a fracture of fractures created in a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore is provided. The method comprises creating a fracture in the formation extending from a lower end portion of the wellbore and then removing a location orientated core containing a portion of the fracture from the wellbore to thereby determine the orientation of the fracture in the formation.
