Course Description
For geometrical, mechanical, and hydraulic characterization of discontinuous media in terms of both rock engineering and reservoir engineering applications ranging in a broad bandwidth from the stability of rock slopes and the classification systems of rock masses to the characterization of naturally fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs and hydraulic fracturing operations of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, instructions; on the types and properties, 1-D and 2-D sampling methods, graphical representation techniques, geostatistical and fractal analyses, hydraulic, mechanical, and coupled hydro-mechanical behaviors of rock mass discontinuities are the main focuses of this course.
