Abstract
A method for computing effective permeability for a discrete fracture network in a subterranean environment. The method may include: obtaining () attributes of the discrete fracture network, spatially sampling () points on the surfaces of fractures inside a computation cell; allocating () to each sampled point at least one attribute of the corresponding fracture, computing () discrete pressure values in the computation cell at the location of the sampled points by solving partial derivative equations of a flow model; computing effective permeability () values for the computation cell from the pressures values.
