Abstract
Methods may include creating a fracture set from a collection of intersecting fractures in a borehole image log recorded within a subterranean formation; classifying the fracture set into groups of fully and partially intersecting fractures; calculating one or more of the elongation ratio and the rotation angle of the partially intersecting fractures; determining a probability of full intersection of fractures from the fracture set; and determining a fracture size or a parametric distribution of fracture sizes from the fracture set using the calculated one or more of the elongation ratio and the rotation angle and the determined probability of full intersection of formation fractures within the borehole.
