METHOD FOR INTERPRETING DIPPING NATURAL FRACTURE AND FAULT PLANES IDENTIFIED FROM BOREHOLE IMAGES

摘要

A method of interpreting specific dipping surfaces in earth formations, namely, fracture and fault planes from borehole images. The method is applicable to borehole images obtained from any borehole imaging tool, regardless of tool physics or acquisition type. The interpretation method provides for detailed description of feature s in order to provide a robust framework for subsequent interpretation work.
