Development of an empirical model relating permeability and specific stiffness for rough fractures from numerical deformation experiments: Fracture Permeability and Stiffness

Journal Article Wang, Lichun ; Cardenas, M. Bayani - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

The coupling between hydraulic and mechanical properties of porous and fractured geologic media are critical for many geophysical processes and practical applications. Thus, the prediction of this linkage between these properties is broadly important. Here we present a potentially predictive model that links fracture permeability and specific stiffness with empirical coefficients dependent on fracture roughness, correlation length of aperture field, and rock mechanical properties. The equation was developed empirically from results of modeling the deformation and flow through synthetic fractures with aperture fields that follow a normal distribution. The fractures were subjected to increasing normal stress and deformed following anmore »« less

Fracture imaging with converted elastic waves

Conference Nihei, K T ; Nakagawa, S ; Myer, L R

This paper examines the seismic signatures of discrete, finite-length fractures, and outlines an approach for elastic, prestack reverse-time imaging of discrete fractures. The results of this study highlight the importance of incorporating fracture-generated P-S converted waves into the imaging method, and presents an alternate imaging condition that can be used in elastic reverse-time imaging when a direct wave is recorded (e.g., for crosswell and VSP acquisition geometries).

[In-situ permeability determination and fracture characterization using elastic waves]. Progress report

Technical Report Cheng, A C.H.

Fractures or permeable structures in reservoirs are of great importance in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Heterogeneous layers in the formation are also of major significance. A very good example of such heterogeneous and permeable structures is the sand-shale sequence found in sedimentary formations. Full waveform acoustic logging offers an effective tool for characterizing these structures. The current technique most commonly used for modeling borehole acoustic wave propagation with heterogeneous formation structures is the finite difference method (Bhashvanija, 1983; Stephen et al., 1985). This technique can handle heterogeneity quite easily. However, the implementation of the method to a permeablemore »« less

The detection and characterization of natural fractures using P-wave reflection data, multicomponent VSP, borehole image logs and the in-situ stress field determination

Conference Hoekstra, P

The objectives of this project are to detect and characterize fractures in a naturally fractured tight gas reservoir, using surface seismic methods, borehole imaging logs, and in-situ stress field data. Further, the project aims to evaluate the various seismic methods as to their effectiveness in characterizing the fractures, and to formulate the optimum employment of the seismic methods as regards fracture characterization.
