    This document discusses methods for modeling fractures in Petrel, including: 1. Generating fracture intensity logs from borehole data to describe fracture density. This includes correcting for borehole deviation. 2. Creating cumulative fracture count logs to provide a reliability measurement of the intensity calculation. 3. Optionally defining mechanical zones based on variations in fracture properties, not just lithology. 4. Creating fracture density maps by averaging intensity logs over zones to quickly view fracture patterns before detailed 3D modeling.

    Model Drivers
    Objective

     Generate fracture intensity log


    – Borehole correction
    – Outputs per fracture set
     Create cumulative fracture count logs
     Alternatively, use existing fracture sets or analyze the logs to
    create new fracture sets
     Optional 1: Define mechanical zones
     Optional 2: Create fracture density maps from logs.
    Calculate Intensity Logs from Fractures: Purpose

    Intensity log
    The generation of intensity logs from fracture data is essential because it describes the density of
    fractures per unit length/area/volume and provides an input fracture distribution for the fracture
    model. This is a subjective log (are the fracture counts random or not?).

    Window length
    Depends on cycles of
    lithology, facies, and distance
    between observed fractures.
    Calculate Intensity Logs

    How to calculate an intensity log from fracture


    point data:

    1. Right-click on fracture point data and


    select Insert global intensity log.

    2. Select Intensity as Log type.

    3. Set window length (project units) for the


    sliding window.

    4. If multiple fracture sets are defined, an


    output log per set can be defined.

    5. Visualize the Intensity log in a Well


    Section window.

    Calculate Cumulative Logs from Fractures: Purpose

    Cumulative log
    Provides a reliability
    measurment of the Intensity
    calculation (integral). It can
    also indicate mechanical
    zones by variation in
    gradient. Contrary to the
    Intensity log, this is an
    objective log (cumulated
    samples; no window).
    Calculate Cumulative Logs

    How to calculate a cumulative


    log from fracture point data:
    1. Right-click on Fracture point
    data and select Insert global
    intensity log.

    2. Select Cumulative as Log type.

    3. Correct for Borehole deviation.

    4. If multiple fracture sets are


    defined, an output log per set
    can be defined.

    5. Visualize the Intensity log in a


    Well Section window.

    Mechanical Zones

    Mechanical Zones
    Generally, it can be sufficient to define stratigraphic zones; however, it is convenient to define
    and model mechanical zones that do not adhere to a given lithology, zone or facies
    interpretation, but rather look at the mechanical property variation.
    Well Tops
    In Petrel, the general Stratigraphy of Well tops can be used, but a new well top set can be
    interpreted with respect to mechanical properties.

    Use Make/edit well tops


    to interpret mechanical horizons;
    then flatten on all interpreted
    horizons to get an idea of the
    consistent zonation.
    Fracture Density Maps
    Purpose
    A fast overview of average fracture Intensity per zone can be useful before moving into proper 3D
    fracture modeling. Below is the procedure for how to generate the maps.

    1. Insert a new continuous attribute for Well


    tops; average the Intensity log to zone level.

    2. Make a surface/2D grid from the Intensity


    attribute for each zone.

    3. Visualize and QC the new surface in a Map or


    3D window.
