The discrete fracture networks (DFN) have become indispensable tools for geomechanical modelling of jointed rock masses. technology creates a three-dimensional (3D) representation geometry used in the construction surface and subsurface engineering projects mining, civil engineering, fracturing reservoir oil gas industry. approach depends on accuracy data obtained during site investigation to c...

margins contain vast reserves of gas hydrate, a frozen form of natural gas that is embedded in cold, near-seafloor strata. Published estimates suggest that the energy represented by gas hydrate may exceed the energy available from conventional fossil fuel by a factor of 2 or more. Understanding marine hydrate systems has become critical for long-term worldwide energy planning. Groups in several...

Geomechanical characterization plays a key role in optimizing the stimulation treatment of tight reservoir formations. Petrophysical models help classify rock as conventional or unconventional type and determine hydrocarbon-saturated zones. petrophysical are fundamentally based on well-log data that provide reliable high-resolution information, used to various relationships between measured bor...
