| Abstract | A method is devised for estimating the potential permeability of fracture networks from attributes of fractures observed in outcrop. The technique, which is intended as a complement to traditional approaches, is based on type curves that represent various combinations of fracture lengths, fracture orientations and proportions (i.e., intensities) of fractures that participate in flow. Numerical models are used to derive the type curves. To account for variations in fracture aperture, a permeability ratio (R) defined as the permeability of a fracture network in a domain divided by the permeability of a single fracture with identical fracture apertures, is used as a dependent variable to derive the type curves. The technique works by determining the point on the type curve that represents the fracture characteristics collected in the field. To test the performance of the technique, permeabilities that were derived from fractured-rock aquifers of eastern Massachusetts (USA) are compared to permeabilities predicted by the technique. Results indicate that permeabilities estimated from type curves are within an order of magnitude of permeabilities derived from field tests. First-order estimates of fracture-network permeability can, therefore, be easily and quickly acquired with this technique before more robust and expensive methods are utilized in the field.Une méthode a été élaborée pour estimer la perméabilité d’ensemble de réseaux de fractures à partir de caractéristiques de fractures observées sur affleurement. La technique, qui se veut être un complément aux approches traditionnelles, est basée sur des abaques représentant des combinaisons variables de longueurs, orientations et proportions (i.e. densité de fracturation) des fractures qui contribuent à l’écoulement. On a utilisé des modèles numériques dérivés d’abaques. Pour tenir compte des variations d’ouverture de la fracturation, un ratio de perméabilité (R) défini comme la perméabilité d’un domaine de réseau de fractures divisé par la perméabilité d’une fracture unique d’ouverture identique, a été utilisé comme variable dépendante dérivant des abaques. La technique fonctionne en déterminant le point sur l’abaque type qui représente les caractéristiques de la fracturation relevées sur le terrain. Pour tester la performance de la technique, les perméabilités d’aquifères fracturés de l’Est Massachusetts (USA) ont été comparées avec les perméabilités prévues par la technique. Les résultats indiquent que les perméabilités estimées à partir des abaques sont dans l’ordre de grandeur des perméabilités issues de tests de terrain. Des estimations de premier ordre de la perméabilité du réseau de fractures peut, par conséquent, être aisément et rapidement acquises avec cette technique avant que des méthodes plus lourdes et coûteuses soient utilisées sur le terrain.Se diseñó un método para estimar la permeabilidad potencial de redes de fracturas a partir de atributos de las fracturas observadas en afloramientos. La técnica, que se intenta como un complemento a los enfoques tradicionales, está basada en curvas tipo que representan varias combinaciones de longitudes, orientaciones y proporciones (por ejemplo intensidades) de fracturas que participan en el flujo. Se utilizan modelos numéricos para desarrollar las curvas tipo. Para tener en cuenta las variaciones en las aperturas de las fracturas, se utilizó una relación de permeabilidad (R) definida como la permeabilidad de una red de fracturas en un dominio dividido por la permeabilidad de una fractura simple con idénticas aperturas de fracturas, como una variable dependiente para desarrollar las curvas tipo. La técnica trabaja determinando el punto sobre la curva tipo que representa las características de la fractura recogidas en el campo. Para probar la performance de la técnica se comparan las permeabilidades que fueron desarrolladas de los acuíferos de rocas fracturadas del este de Massachusetts (EEUU) a las permeabilidades predichas por la técnica. Los resultados indican que las permeabilidades estimadas a partir de las curvas tipo están dentro del orden de magnitud de permeabilidades deducidas de los ensayos de campo. Las estimaciones de primer orden de la permeabilidad de redes de fractura, pueden, por lo tanto, ser fácil y rápidamente adquiridas con esta técnica antes de utilizar métodos de campo más robustos y costosos通过在野外露头观察到的裂隙的特征来评估裂隙网络的潜在渗透性的方法在本文中被提出。这种技术是基于标准曲线的,是对传统方法的一种补充,标准曲线代表了裂隙的长度、裂隙的走向和与地下水流动有关的裂隙的规模(即密度)的不同组合。用数值模型来获得标准曲线。为了解释裂隙开度的变化,定义了渗透性比值(R),渗透性比值是区域上裂隙网的渗透系数与具有相同裂隙开度的单一裂隙渗透系数的比值,渗透性比值也作为获得标准曲线的因变量。这种技术的工作原理是确定标准曲线上能代表在现场获得的裂隙特征的点。为了测试这种技术的效果,把从美国马萨诸塞州东部获得的裂隙含水层的渗透率和通过这种技术预测得到的渗透率进行了对比。结果表明,利用标准曲线评估获得的渗透系数和通过现场测试得到的渗透系数在同一个数量级上。因此,在利用更成熟更昂贵的方法之前,利用这种技术,可以方便快捷地获得裂隙网络渗透系数的一级估计值。É desenvolvido um método para estimar a permeabilidade potencial de redes de fratura através de atributos de fraturas observadas em afloramento.

São utilizados modelos numéricos para obter as curvas tipo. Para ter em conta as variações de abertura das fraturas, uma relação de permeabilidade (R) definida como a permeabilidade de uma rede de fraturas de um domínio dividida pela permeabilidade de uma fratura simples com idêntica abertura da fratura, é usada como uma variável dependente para obter as curvas tipo. A técnica funciona através da determinação do ponto na curva tipo que representa as caraterísticas das fraturas recolhidas no campo.

Os resultados indicam que as permeabilidades estimadas a partir das curvas tipo estão dentro da ordem de grandeza da magnitude das permeabilidades obtidas a partir de ensaios de campo. Estimativas de uma primeira ordem de grandeza da permeabilidade da rede de fraturas podem, portanto, ser fácil e rapidamente obtidas com esta técnica, antes de métodos mais robustos e dispendiosos serem utilizados no campo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
