Application of Photogrammetry in Geology: 3D Investigation of Rock Fracture Distributions

2006
Geology as a science has an important visual component and the knowledge of any geologist is deeply linked to visual experience of rock outcrops, thin sections and analytical images. One of the shortcomings of most geological images such as maps, cross sections and outcrop photographs is that they are 2D, while processes geologists are interested in ...

Geology Quality: A Method of Using 3D Geology Model Data for Completion and Fracturing Optimization in Horizontal Wells

Asia Pacific Unconventional Resources Symposium, 2023
Abstract Engineered completion designs consider reservoir quality (RQ) and completion quality (CQ) for horizontal well completion optimization. This is more effective than the geometric strategy that is sometimes used. However, both RQ and CQ are derived from the wellbore logs, which means the true geology and reservoir properties inside

Predicting hydrology of fractured rock masses from geology

2000
Fracture network connectivity often dominates movement rate, flow volume, and mass transport through rock masses. These networks influence the effectiveness of petroleum reservoir development, safe disposal of nuclear waste, delineation of water supply or establishment of well-head protection plans, recovery from geothermal reservoirs, solution mining,

Geostatistical analysis of fractures in shear zones in the Chibougamau area: applications to structural geology

Tectonophysics, 1997
Abstract A geostatistical approach is used to analyze the spatial distribution of fracture density in shear zones. The methodology proposed is illustrated with data obtained from the mapping of drift walls at the Henderson mine in the Chibougamau mining district, Quebec.

Behaviour of fractures in hard rocks — A study by surface geology and radial VES method

Geoexploration, 1983
Abstract In hard rock terrain the exploration of groundwater is essentially the detection of thick weathered residuum or of zones of intense jointing and fracturing and hence is extremely complex. The present study incorporates the radial vertical electrical sounding (VES) method in understanding the behaviour of rock fracturing at shallow depths in ...

The axial cleavage fracture 1 Axial cleavage fracturing, a significant process in mining and geology

Engineering Geology, 1965
Abstract The attention is called to the systematic occurrence of fracturing in brittle rock parallel to the major load axis at triaxial differential compressive loading. The axial fracture plane shows the features of the tensile brittle ( cleavage) fracture; this circumstance has led to the nomenclature “axial cleavage fracture”.

Production Geology as a Tool for Monitoring Water Influx in a Compartmentalized California Monterey Fractured Reservoir

SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2016
Abstract This paper through a case study exemplifies the use of some common sense reservoir engineering methods using performance data in characterizing heterogeneity and compartmentalization in a complex fractured reservoir producing from the Monterey formation. The field is highly faulted and water influx has been a source of energy in

Methods and applications of fracture trace analysis in the quantification of structural geology

Geological Magazine, 1969
SUMMARYNaturally occurring linear features recognisable on aerial photographs may be related to bedrock tectonics. The identification and analysis of such linear elements, “megajoints”, reveals much information about the style and dimensions of subsurface geologic structures.
