Permeability tensor calculated from fracture mapping in the Horoman peridotite complex
Abstract
Permeability is a measure of how fluid flow occurs through rocks, which governs fluid migration in the basement rock formations. This study evaluated three-dimensional permeability and its anisotropy in the Horoman peridotite complex from geometric information of fractures using a scan line method. The results showed that the field-scale permeability ranges from 10-13 to 10-12 m2, with the maximum principal permeability subparallel to the layered structure of the peridotites.
