  • Patent number: 11150369
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for generating a three-dimensional fracture network model are provided. The method can include receiving reflected acoustic signal measurements acquired in response to emission of acoustic waves by one or more sensors disposed in a wellbore formed within a target region. Each reflected acoustic signal measurement represents a strength of a reflected acoustic wave as a function of time measured in at least one predetermined direction oriented with respect to an axis of the wellbore. A fracture extension estimate is generated for each of the reflected acoustic signal measurements. A three-dimensional fracture network model is generated corresponding to the fracture extension estimates generated for each of the plurality of reflected acoustic measurements. The generated fracture network model is output for display or use in modeling environments.
