Fracture networks, apertures and flow patterns in carbonate rocks from the surface to reservoir depths: Fracture data acquisition and outcrop analogue modelling of outcropping carbonates in Bahia, Brazil

: In earlier stages of this project, we have characterized natural fracture patterns and fluid flow in outcropping Lower-Cretaceous carbonate pavements of the Jandaira Fm. in the Potiguar Basin, NE Brazil. We found that most fractures are formed during early burial, resulting mainly from NNE-SSW compression and partially from more recent NW-SE...
