Description: Fractures remain one of the most important events in the subsurface to impact the reservoirs, from drilling till characterization, development and abandonment. Natural or induced (while drilling or stimulation), they need to be detected early to understand their propagation behavior and impact under different conditions. Industry has been grappling with this challenge, as often their impact is understood very late. Many indirect methods have helped understand fractures for decades; however, new technologies and applications can help detect, identify and characterize the fractures while drilling itself. This is achieved by analyzing Basic measurements-while-drilling (MWD) dataSurface logging data for cuttings and mud-gasLogging-while-drilling (LWD) basic to advanced measurementsRecent advances in technology have made possible to perform and transmit downhole interpretation while drilling commences, in addition to sending multiple measurements uphole at limited bandwidth for real-time interpretation. Machine learning methods are being used to automate the fracture detection workflows removing subjectivity in interpretation. Several case studies from across the globe will be shared to show what all can be resolved while drilling to address the fracture challenge and provide actionable intelligence.
