Sentence examples for maximum fracture aperture from inspiring English sources
The maximum pore/capillary diameter has a greater impact on the dimensionless permeability than that of the maximum fracture aperture.
In Cleebourg, the maximum fracture aperture is 7 mm and was observed in the N- to S-striking fracture set, close to the fault plane (Fig. 8).
The application of the approach illustrates that the maximum variation of fracture aperture occurs near to the borehole and becomes negligible at large distance away from the borehole.
When the fracture aperture is large enough, the maximum variation no longer significantly increases and even decreases for medium-angle and high-angle fractures, as shown in Fig. 6b, d.
The variation of azimuthal resistivity becomes larger as the fracture aperture and the fracture dipping angle increase, which reaches maximum as the fracture dipping angle reaches 90°.
The fracture aperture has been assumed of 0.04 mm which is equal to the maximum value shown in the image logs.
Initial fracture aperture, mm.
a Fracture aperture 200 μm, b fracture aperture 5 μm.
Fracture aperture is obtained by mechanical modelling.
