Estimation of fracture properties based on borehole fluid data and acoustic imaging

A system for estimating one or more properties of an earth formation, the system comprising:

• a measurement device configured to perform a measurement of fluid from a borehole, and generate formation fluid data based on the measurement;
• at least one acquisition unit configured to acquire formation fluid data and acoustic data, the formation fluid data indicative of a qualitative property of a formation fluid in a near-field region of an earth formation surrounding the borehole, the near-field region including a surface of the borehole, the acoustic data based on acoustic signals transmitted into a far-field region of the formation;
• and
• a processing device configured to perform:
• estimating a property of one or more fractures in the far-field region based on the acoustic data;
• combining the formation fluid data and the acoustic data;
• and
• estimating at least one fracture property of the formation in the near-field region and the far-field region based on the combined data.
