Abstract:Summary
The fine-scale fractures within strike-slip faults substantially impact the flowing capacity. However, effective methods for their characterization are still lacking, making it challenging to predict hydrocarbon accumulation patterns. In this study, we conducted microscopic statistics, ultrasonic experiments, and theoretical modeling to analyze the fracture density and elastic characteristics within the strike-slip fault and investigated the impact of stress. Our findings reveal that the… Show more
