• Fracture types, properties and scales: from core to sub-seismic to seismic scale fractures
  • Static and dynamic fracture properties and relationships to production
  • Relationships between fractures, facies and mechanical stratigraphy
  • Characterising and predicting fractures in the sub-seismic volume
  • The coupled relationship between in situ stress, mechanical anisotropy and fracture distribution
