FRACTURE PATTERN AND STRESS ANALYSIS BASED ON BOREHOLE IMAGES AND SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES

Since fracture behaviour tends to be localized, integration of borehole image and seismic attributes is believed to decrease the uncertainty in characterizing high fracture density areas. The project objective is to delineate the fracture pattern trends using borehole images and seismic attribute...
