Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, methods, and software can be used to identify properties of fractures in a subterranean zone. In some aspects, a basic plane orientation is determined for each of a plurality of basic planes. The basic planes are defined by coplanar subsets of microseismic event data from a fracture treatment of a subterranean zone. The quantity of the basic plane orientations in each of a plurality of ranges is calculated. In some implementations, a histogram is displayed to indicate the quantity of basic plane orientations in each of the orientation ranges. A dominant fracture orientation is identified for the subterranean zone based on one or more of the identified quantities.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for identifying dominant fracture orientations in a subterranean zone, the method comprising: receiving microseismic event data associated with a fracture treatment of a subterranean zone; identifying coplanar subsets of microseismic events in the received microseismic event data, each of the coplanar subsets comprising a non-collinear triplet of microseismic events in the received microseismic event data; determining…
