Abstract

A new type of diagram depicts orientation data for planar structures found in drill core. Strike and dip of fractures intersected by a borehole are plotted independently, side by side, as a function of borehole length. These companion plots show variations in distribution and orientation of fractures. The diagram is used to establish boundaries between fracture domains and to interpret a sequence of fracturing based on the spatial relationship between domains comprising different fracture patterns.
