Abstract
A method can include receiving strain data associated with propagation of a hydraulic fracture in a subsurface geologic region; performing a comparison between the strain data and simulation results generated using a mesh model of the subsurface geologic region and enrichment equations that represent one or more discontinuities in the subsurface geologic region; and, based on the comparison, characterizing the subsurface geologic region.
