Int ro duc tion Because of the drastic increase in o i Ugas discovertes where natotal fractures pl ay an important tule in production (North sea, Middle east ; USA, North Africa. . .), focus on fracture studies with an ultimate goal of fracturing on subsurface Huid flow and subsequent reservoir performance is of paramount importance in the reservoir evaluation and management. This interest manifested itself by including different topics such as fracture origin, morphology ; spacing, permcability, timing. .. at different sca l es (well bore, seismic, surface) using different techniques .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
