Analysis of Fracture Roughness Control on Permeability Using SfM and Fluid Flow Simulations: Implications for Carbonate Reservoir Characterization
Figure 13
Permeability components—(a) parallel to shear, , and (b) perpendicular to shear, —versus porosity of a single fracture after sliding/tearing displacement. Dashed line represents the relationship permeability-porosity for ideal smooth fractures, whereas the dotted line (best-fitting power law) indicates the same relationship when roughness is included.
