[HTML][HTML] Computed-tomography-based discrete fracture-matrix modeling: An integrated framework for deriving fracture networks

CAS Ferreira, HM Nick - Advances in Water Resources, 2023 - Elsevier
Investigating the topology of natural fractures and associated flow properties allow for better
understanding of fluid flow patterns and mechanical response in fractured reservoirs, key …

Discrete fracture and matrix (DFM) modelling of chalk: From CT-scans to permeability estimations

CAS Ferreira, HM Nick - 84th EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition, 2023 - earthdoc.org
We present a workflow for upscaling equivalent permeability tensors of small-scale fracture
networks based on X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans of core plugs from fractured …
