Geostatistical Properties of Fracture Elements

Among the structure elements, here we will consider joints, pressure solution seams, deformation bands, and faults. Similarly, each of these four fundamental elements occur as isolated single structures, zones, sets, and multiple sets. Therefore, the grand schema of this Knowledgebase or the road map for navigation may be considered as a 4x4 matrix. The information will be further categorized as properties and factors, and geometry, statistics, and scaling of each structure type. Zones, sets, and multiple sets are also considered.

Types of Geostatistical Properties of Fracture Elements:
