Fracture Properties Needed

Fracture Properties Needed. Fracture porosity & permeability are both a function of Fracture Width (e) & Fracture Spacing (D). Fracture Porosity. Fracture Porosity Magnitude. Fracture Porosity is Difficult to Calculate and Even More Difficult to Interpret.

  1. Fracture Properties Needed

  2. Fracture porosity & permeability are both a function of Fracture Width (e) & Fracture Spacing (D)

  3. Fracture Porosity

  4. Fracture Porosity Magnitude

  5. Fracture Porosity is Difficult to Calculate and Even More Difficult to Interpret

  6. While Fracture Porosity is Small in Magnitude • It is very effective porosity • A possible large volume per well due to large drainage area and reservoir thickness • An assumed high recovery factor

  7. Fracture System Volume as a Function of Fracture Porosity & Drainage Nelson (1985)

  8. Fracture Porosity & Scale 2 ft Nelson (1985)

  9. Depth & Depletion Corrections Are Much More Severe in Fracture Porosity Than in Matrix Porosity

  10. Fracture & Matrix Porosity Compressibility

  11. Fracture & Matrix Permeability Compressibility Tr Ss from Daw & Others (1974)

  12. Fracture Porosity Calculator Nelson (1985)

  13. Fracture Porosity Determinations

  14. Fracture Porosity from Core Analysis

  15. Fracture Porosity vs. Fracture Permeability Nelson (1985)

  16. K. North Sea Chalk Valhall Field Fracture Porosity/ Permeability Relationship Nelson (1985)

  17. Fracture Porosity from Outcrop Fracture Intensities Nelson (1985) Assumes Fracture Width for Ls at 10,000 ft from Lab Measurements
