Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product evaluate fracture abundance in a subsurface formation by modeling a fracture network in a three-dimensional volume using geometric primitives. A fracture abundance parameter, e.g., a Pfracture density, may be determined in part based upon the combined areas of the primitives with cells of a three-dimensional grid.
