Natural fractures within Knox reservoirs in the Appalachian Basin: characterization and impact on poroelastic response of injection

Understanding the distribution and orientation of natural fractures within Knox Groups is of significance in seeking potential CO 2 storage zones with high practical storage capacity. Over 700 observations of natural fractures were interpreted on acquired resistivity and acoustic image logs collected at multiple well locations ranging in depth from 730 to 3900 m in the Knox Group interval on the western flank of Appalachian Basin. We evaluated...
