Zusammenfassung:Examples of techniques for determining robustness of a discrete fracture network (DFN) permeability estimate are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include: receiving a DFN of an earth formation of interest, the DFN comprising a plurality of connected fractures; determining a directional equivalent permeability of the plurality of connected fractures of the DFN using a numerical upscaling method; and determining the robustness of the directional equivalent permeability.
