Abstract

The fracture density per unit volume in a reservoir formation can be measured directly from seismic data for fractures with displacements greater than the limit of seismic resolution. Plots of displacement size vs. cumulative number are produced from seismic interpretations digitized and processed using software developed for the analysis of fault geometries and displacements.
