... either by fractures or by permeable matrix. However, little work has been done on the randomness of non- hydraulic engineering properties of DFN models. The objective of this research is to present a comparison between natural and stochastic fracture networks with a focus on their geomechanical response...

The methodology for the rock mechanical descriptive model was developed in Sweden. hydraulic fracturing strength wellbore integrity DFN model fracture trace reservoir geomechanics Upstream...
