Abstract
Successful exploration and production of naturally fractured formations are highly dependent on methods for fracture zones identification and distribution along the studied object. To develop reliable geological model of fractured reservoir, one should know such specific parameters as their size, aperture, distribution, orientation etc. According to the objectives, which stand in front of fracture analysis from different multi-scale information, authors developed a special type of representation, called “the Chess Matrix”.
The key objective of Matrix is in providing quick and essential informative basis for efficient brainstorming and analysis.
The Matrix is a structured two-dimensional area, where each element, cell, is reserved for a certain type of information. For easier understanding, provided matrix was adapted to the view of chessboard with letters and numbers as cells’ coordinates. This matrix could be used, from the one hand, as a tool for data analysis and integration, on the other hand – quality controller of the logic among the data.
Using Matrix assumes flexible approach for input information. The main condition is the presence of explicit or supposed logic between events or features composing its cells: by genesis, scale of physics of the certain process etc.
