Fracture Properties Needed
Fracture porosity & permeability are both a function of Fracture Width (e) & Fracture Spacing (D)
Fracture Porosity
Fracture Porosity Magnitude
Difficult to Calculate Fracture Porosity is Difficult to Calculate and Even More Difficult to Interpret
While Fracture Porosity is Small in Magnitude It is very effective porosity A possible large volume per well due to large drainage area and reservoir thickness An assumed high recovery factor
Fracture System Volume as a Function of Fracture Porosity & Drainage Nelson (1985)
Fracture Porosity & Scale 2 ft Nelson (1985)
Depth & Depletion Corrections Than in Matrix Porosity Are Much More Severe in Fracture Porosity Than in Matrix Porosity
