Ideally, the first aforementioned approach is probably preferable but it totally depends on the availability of input data. <italic>Fracture aperture</italic> Regardless of the chosen approach the next step is to display the modeled fractures extracted from image log on the stereonet...

... including fracture porosity, fracture aperture and secondary(vuggy) porosity. Fracture indicator from advanced mud gas analysis was compared to the fracture development from dual image logs and is used to analyze fractures in non-image acquisition section. Finally, the basement formation is classified...

... greater than 3 pu), lower amount of Kerogen (less than 5%) and higher Brittleness Index were recommended as the most perspective for completion and hydraulic fracturing ( Fig. 4 ). Fracture aperture which is a key parameter in fracture modelling and reservoir simulation is also calculated...

... becomes consistent after that, but the fracture aperture has a little effect because the matrix permeability is the main factor to limit the gas flow. There are a demarcation point that the cumulative production acceleration slows down when the number of hydraulic fracture stage increase (20 stages...

... Abstract Parameters for fracture aperture calculations were calculated for a high-resolution logging-while-drilling (LWD) imaging tool, and the aperture calculation that has been applied to wireline tools was extended to the LWD tool. The causes of uncertainty in calculated apertures were...

... Abstract Proppant embedment plays a significant role in decreasing fracture aperture and conductivity, especially for weakly consolidated sandstones, shale (oil and gas) rock, and coal beds. Empirical and semi-empirical models were usually used to calculate the embedment of proppants. However...

This work strongly links the production technology and geomechanics and suggests an approach for modeling and designing HF treatments in unconventional shale gas plays...

... and fracture aperture (fracture aperture calibration curve) was obtained by X-ray CT scanning for a fracture aperture calibration standard with varying the aperture from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. As a result, a linear relationship was obtained between CT value and fracture aperture. With the fracture aperture calibration...

... reservoir properties such as average permeability, fracture storativity and fracture conductivity. An infusion of geological knowledge helps reducing uncertainty associated with any well-test interpretation. The static properties of naturally fractured reservoirs such as fracture aperture, fracture spacing...
