Methods of Identifying Reservoir Fractures in the Petroleum Industry

Abstract:

In fractured reservoir, the capacity of oil storage and production depends on the degree of fractures development. Therefore, the research of identifying reservoir fractures has become more important in the petroleum industry. By the research of fractures identification methods in geology, logging and seismology,the paper explains the features and advantages,disadvantages of each method. The study shows that a single method is not enough to solve problem in current conditions , the comprehensive use of various methods is required.
