Quantifying opening-mode fracture spatial organization in horizontal wellbore image logs, core and outcrop: Application to Upper Cretaceous Frontier Formation tight gas sandstones, USA

Journal Article Li, J. Z. ; Laubach, S. E. ; Gale, J. F. W. ; ... - Journal of Structural Geology

The Upper Cretaceous Frontier Formation is a naturally fractured gas-producing sandstone in Wyoming. Regionally, random and statistically more clustered than random patterns exist in the same upper to lower shoreface depositional facies. East-west- and north-south-striking regional fractures sampled using image logs and cores from three horizontal wells exhibit clustered patterns, whereas data collected from east-west-striking fractures in outcrop have patterns that are indistinguishable from random. Image log data analyzed with the correlation count method shows clusters ~35 m wide and spaced ~50 to 90 m apart as well as clusters up to 12 m wide with periodic inter-cluster spacings.

Analysis of spatial arrangement of fractures in two dimensions using point process statistics

Journal Article Corrêa, Rodrigo S. M. ; Marrett, Randall ; Laubach, Stephen E. - Journal of Structural Geology

Here we present a methodology that quantifies fracture arrangement in space as a function of position (barycenters), size (trace length in 2D), and orientation (variation in strike). We use point process statistics to analyze distances between barycenters and estimate a confidence interval for randomness that is compared with input data. The methodology can discriminate at least four types of spatial arrangements and identifies preferential associations of distances with fracture length and orientation. We apply our method to two naturally fractured formations and show that it can determine fracture arrangements under a significant statistical confidence.
