Abstract
A method can include receiving information that defines a three-dimensional subterranean structure; splitting the three-dimensional subterranean structure into portions; generating convex hulls for the portions; and generating a discrete fracture network based at least in part on the convex hulls.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving information that defines a three-dimensional subterranean structure;
- splitting the three-dimensional subterranean structure into portions;
- generating convex hulls for the portions;
- and
- generating a discrete fracture network based at least in part on the convex hulls.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- memory operatively coupled to the processor;
- one or more modules stored in the memory and comprising processor executable instructions to instruct the system wherein the instructions comprise instructions to:
- receive information that defines a three-dimensional subterranean structure;
- split the three-dimensional subterranean structure into portions;
- generate convex hulls for the portions;
- and
- generate a discrete fracture network based at least in part on the convex hulls.
5 more elements
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising processor-executable instructions to instruct a computer to:
- receive information that defines a three-dimensional subterranean structure;
- split the three-dimensional subterranean structure into portions;
- generate convex hulls for the portions;
- and
- generate a discrete fracture network based at least in part on the convex hulls.
