Fracture Quantification in Naturally fractured gas reservoirs
Ernest L. Majer, Thomas M. Daley, Kurt Nihei, and Seiji Nakagawa
Research Objectives
The objective for this work is to apply high-resolution seismic-imaging
fracture-identification methods (logging, single-well vertical seismic
profiling [VSP]) to naturally fractured gas reservoirs, and to integrate
the results with three-dimensional (3-D) surface imaging. The goal
is to determine the optimum technique for not only locating fractures,
but also quantifying their properties in a manner that allows the
fractures controlling flow to be identified.
