Project Description
A university–industry consortium will develop a model for fractured carbonate reservoirs using the Michigan Basin as a prototype. The project will combine traditional historical data with 2D and 3D (?) seismic data as well as data from modern logging tools in a novel way to produce a new methodology for characterizing fractured reservoirs in carbonate rocks. GIS-based software will be used to display and manipulate the data and to image it on a variety of scales, ranging from basin-scale to well-scale.
