Abstract
A method for performing a borehole and/or subsurface formation-related action for a subsurface formation of interest includes: receiving a plurality of sets of fracture data for a subsurface rock; generating a discrete fracture network (DFN) for each set of fracture data; and determining a property of each DFN that corresponds to each set of fracture data. The method also includes: mapping the plurality of sets of fracture data to the corresponding property using artificial intelligence (AI) to provide an AI model; inputting a set of fracture data for the subsurface formation of interest into the AI model; outputting a property of the subsurface formation of interest from the AI model; and performing the borehole and/or subsurface formation-related action for the subsurface formation of interest using the property and equipment configured to perform the borehole and/or subsurface formation-related action.
