Background
In this assignment, you will analyze natural fracture data generated from an FMI image
log interpretation in a vertical well from the Barnett shale. This image log has been
processed using the software GMI Imager, in which fractures were picked as abrupt
contrasts in the electrical resistivity image of the borehole wall. The image log data can
be downloaded by clicking the link on the top of the page.
Instructions
Also, make a plot with fracture dip on the horizontal axis, and depth on the vertical. If
possible, color each point by its aperture. Can you pick a depth with several fractures
with shallow dips and possibly large apertures that may actually be bedding planes
misinterpreted as natural fractures?
