Abstract: Systems and methods for simulating subterranean regions having multi-scale, complex fracture geometries in a realistic simulation environment, which includes in the modeling process three-dimensional multi-scale rock discontinuities, hydraulic fractures, and heterogenous reservoir properties. Non-intrusive embedded discrete fracture modeling formulations are applied in conjunction with commercial or in-house simulators to efficiently and accurately model subsurface characteristics including three-dimensional geometries having combinations of complex hydraulic fractures and multi-scale rock discontinuities.

Abstract: A method for quantitatively evaluating the anisotropy of joint roughness coefficient of rock joints is provided, comprising the following steps: selecting a joint sample of an engineering rock mass to be analyzed; uniformly arranging rock joint measurement segments in different orientations; recording each joint profile by a profilograph; measuring joint roughness coefficient of each measurement segment; calculating a statistical mean value of the joint roughness coefficients in each orientation under same dimensional conditions, and obtaining a roughness coefficient class ratio in each orientation; transforming each item in the roughness coefficient class ratio by R1(i)=r0(i)1/m; fitting the processed roughness coefficient of the rock joints by anisotropic ellipse function; determining a major axis a and a minor axis b of the anisotropic ellipse, ? representing a direction of rotation, where a ratio of the major axis to the minor axis indicates a difference between the maximum roughness coefficient and the m
