Assessing an open-well aquifer test in fractured crystalline rock Assessing an open-well aquifer test in fractured crystalline rock
Use of open wells to conduct aquifer tests in fractured crystalline rock aquifers is potentially problematic, because open wells can hydraulically connect highly permeable fracture zones at different depths within the rock. Because of this effect, it is questionable whether estimates of the hydraulic properties of the rock obtained from analysis of an open-well aquifer test in fractured

Identifying fracture‐zone geometry using simulated annealing and hydraulic‐connection data Identifying fracture‐zone geometry using simulated annealing and hydraulic‐connection data
A new approach is presented to condition geostatistical simulation of high‐permeability zones in fractured rock to hydraulic‐connection data. A simulated‐annealing algorithm generates three‐dimensional (3‐D) realizations conditioned to borehole data, inferred hydraulic connections between packer‐isolated borehole intervals, and an indicator (fracture zone or background‐K bedrock)...
