Wavelet identification of the spatial distribution of fractures

Wavelet identification of the spatial distribution of fractures

We propose a novel and efficient method for identifying the spatial distribution of fractures and faults of field‐scale porous media, such as oil reservoirs and groundwater aquifers. The method is based on wavelet transformation of the porosity logs, and is demonstrated by its applications to synthe...

Zusammenfassung:We propose a novel and efficient method for identifying the spatial distribution of fractures and faults of field‐scale porous media, such as oil reservoirs and groundwater aquifers. The method is based on wavelet transformation of the porosity logs, and is demonstrated by its applications to synthetic as well as real data.
