The equipment and softwares of Corias, together with the experience of his geologist allow to perform with the best result any field synthesis based on fracture analysis from old of fresch cores. The 3D digitization is the only way to make analysis on slabbed cores or on small pieces in faulted zones.
As
result of a synthesis study on several drilling,
the result of all fractures orientation is plotted
on maps, the aperture and length of fractures are studied and all characteristics for each well are combined and the orientation of all features is summarized in
table
Example of multi-well
reorientation analysis in a field. Analysis made on old cores, slabbed or not:
Yellow arrows are showing the actual in-situ stress
Synthesis logs showing the relation between aperture and length of fractures
Synthesis table showing the main orientation of natural and induced fractures deduced from the core analysis
