Description
Summary:Fracture characterization and modeling technology can characterize the fractures of naturally fractured reservoirs. In this work, a novel application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) will be introduced which can be used to improve this technology. The new technique by using the feed-forward ANN with backpropagation learning rule can predict the fractures dip inclination degree of the third well using the data from the other two wells nearby. The result obtained showed that the ANNs model can simulate the relationship between fractures dips in these three wells which the multiple R of training and test sets for the ANN model are 0.95099 and 0.912197, respectively.
