Fracture Diagnostics

Fracture Diagnostics is the subdiscipline of hydraulic fracturing and reservoir engineering that employs field measurements, monitoring technologies, and data analysis to identify, characterize, and evaluate the geometry, properties, and evolution of induced or natural fractures in the subsurface.
