The intelligent identification of and information extraction from discontinuities in fractured
rock masses is crucial for the construction of a 3D fracture network model. A Deterministic …

Outcrop studies are essential for understanding subsurface fractures, because some key
attributes such as length and height distribution cannot be measured using wellbores …

The present work investigates the influence of crack opening rates on the development of
four important calcite vein morphologies, namely fibrous, elongate-blocky, partially open …

Natural fracture networks strongly control hydrocarbon flow paths in tight carbonate
reservoirs. An improved understanding of their geometries regarding orientations and …

Carbonates represent major hydrocarbon reservoirs, but often exhibit highly heterogeneous
reservoir properties. Outcrop analogues provide important insights into how parameters …

This paper develops a method for intelligent identification and semi-automated extraction of
3D fracture parameters based on images in rock slope or underground engineering. Firstly …

Underground projects require a realistic understanding of geological, structural and
mechanical characteristics of the rock mass. This includes a comprehensive rock mass …

Determining the geometric or morphology and mechanical properties of joints and
geomechanics of intact rock is a vitally important issue in predicting the behaviour of …

Natural fracture patterns significantly control hydrocarbon flow paths in tight carbonate
reservoirs. A better understanding of fracture geometries may significantly reduce …
