Abstract
The analyses and modelling of fracture and fault systems finds since decades a wide range of applications in O&G exploration and production, mining, waste storage and civil and environmental engineering, and is now gradually also showing its potential in areas such as CCSU, ground water management, geothermal energy generation, and hydrogen storage. This contribution illustrates some completely new developments deploying cutting-edge technologies.
Two types of new approaches are described and illustrated: The Fracture Potential and Domain Modelling (FPDM), a technology which provides distributions of different parameters in 2d and 3d on a reservoir scale, and the DMX-Protocol, a completely new, geology-driven 3d fracture modelling methodology.
For those interested in additional background information regarding the workflows, tools and examples shown, several recent papers are available on the author’s web pages.
