Fracture Complexity Analysis

Fracture Complexity Analysis is a systematic methodological framework within fracture diagnostics that characterizes the geometric and connectivity attributes of fracture networks by quantifying deviations from planar or simple fracture geometries, thereby enabling the assessment of spatial heterogeneity and flow behavior in fractured subsurface formations.
