... geological features. The natural fractures were divided into three types: open fractures, sealed fractures, and partially open fractures. The open fractures appear resistive (bright/light) in the inversion resistivity image and dark in the inversion stand-off image because of the influence of the resistive...

... classified into three basic categories: high-amplitude fractures, low-amplitude fractures, and faults. Further, larger open fractures can also be determined when a low-amplitude fracture is evident on caliper images. The fractures in the Marcellus usually have a medium to high angle dip; however, multiple...

... Abstract In Jurassic Nugget Formation sandstones in East Painter Reservoir in the Wyoming overthrust belt, open fractures have been identified as a key reservoir element. In this study, we document fracture spatial distribution from 13 horizontal image logs in the doubly plunging East Painter...

... azimuth change and strong Simple AVAZ amplitude change are indicative of open fractures at the Wolfcamp that are in communication with the overlying shallow graben features. In areas with very good seismic quality, a weak fast azimuth and weak Simple AVAZ amplitude change are indicative of no open...

... of detecting micro-losses in the drilling fluid, by operating with high sensitivity and accuracy. Applying an interpretational model to the derived observed micro-losses, enables the identification of open fractures, micro-fractures and induced fractures occurring with different apertures and densities. Real...
