Subsurface Rough Fractures Detection by Borehole Radar: Numerical Simulation and Analysis (opens in new tab)

Borehole radar, due to its high resolution and extensive radial detection capability, has become an important geophysical tool for detecting complex subsurface fractures. The key to evaluating fracture detectability lies in accurate fracture modeling and numerical simulation. To overcome the limitations of conventional fracture modeling approaches, including geometric oversimplification, inadequate representation of aperture and fracture surface correlation, and incomplete characterization of...
