Fractal analysis
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001564
A method used to quantify the irregular and self-similar characteristics of natural phenomena by determining their fractal dimension. It involves analyzing how a property changes with scale, often using techniques like box-counting or variogram analysis. In reservoir characterization, fractal analysis can describe the complexity of pore networks, fracture patterns, or geological surfaces.
