Discrete Fracture Network Modeling features

A DFN model intricately delineates the fracture system, capturing its geometry and seepage attributes across various scales, openings, orientations, and shapes dispersed in three-dimensional space.

Traditionally, a DFN entails a stochastic portrayal of natural fracture systems, employing techniques from geostatistics or structural geology principles. The scarcity of complete data introduces uncertainties into the parameterization process.

DMatlas provides substantial flexibility in the creation and adjustment of fractures using fracture templates and a fracture model library, starting from digitized satellite images, seismic interpretations, outcrop analogues and other geological insights.

Utilizing regional stress analysis, create dominant fracture templates individually. Regroup them based on contact relationships. Replicate and adjust these templates by scaling, rotating, and relocating them. Expand the range of fracture combinations for further assembly and duplication.

Fault-related fractures generation

For certain structurally related fractures like fault-related fractures, batch generation of fractures can be achieved by configuring parameters such as fracture templates and the influence range of faults.
