Explorer Geophysical Corner
By Jim Holmlund,Paul Griffiths,Randy Ray,Rob Smallshire,Steve Ahlgren
In the July 2002 'Geophysical Corner' we described a new fracture detection method incorporating a portable laserscan unit to completely image analog outcrops in three dimensions. This month we are going to explore how simple analysis of calibrated analog fracture models can enhance exploration and production in fractured reservoirs.
