THREE-DIMENSIONAL FRACTURE ABUNDANCE EVALUATION OF SUBSURFACE FORMATION BASED ON GEOMECHANICAL SIMULATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES THEREOF

A method, apparatus, and program product evaluate fracture abundance in a subsurface formation by modeling a fracture network in a three-dimensional volume using geometric primitives and based at least in part on geomechanical simulation of mechanical properties of the subsurface formation. L'i...

Summary:A method, apparatus, and program product evaluate fracture abundance in a subsurface formation by modeling a fracture network in a three-dimensional volume using geometric primitives and based at least in part on geomechanical simulation of mechanical properties of the subsurface formation. L'invention concerne un procédé, un appareil et un produit-programme qui évaluent l'abondance de fractures dans une formation souterraine en modélisant un réseau de fractures dans un volume tridimensionnel à l'aide de primitives géométriques et sur la base, au moins en partie, de la simulation géomécanique des propriétés mécaniques de la formation souterraine.
