Abstract:
A method of calculating a shape factor may include identifying a first fracture set, a second fracture set and a third fracture set within a subterranean formation; determining the azimuth and the dip of the first fracture set; determining the azimuth and the dip of the second fracture set; determining the azimuth and the dip of the third fracture set; determining the fracture spacing intensity of each fracture set, measuring an angle formed by an intersection of the first and second fracture sets; measuring an angle formed by an intersection of the first and third fracture sets; measuring an angle formed by an intersection of the second and third fracture sets; calculating a shape factor for each particular configuration of the plurality of fracture sets; and developing an ellipse-based equation utilizing the shape factors of these particular configurations and angles formed between each pair of the plurality of fracture sets.
Attribute Importance Measure For Parametric Multivariate Modeling
Parametric Bayesian Updating method is described for attribute importance measures. AIM is a quantitative measure of the relative importance of multiple attributes used in a Bayesian Updating parametric multivariate modeling approach. The AIM is a function of the correlation coefficients between the attributes themselves and the attributes with collocated target variable. The importance calculation is straightforward, repeatable, and objective.
