Fractals and the Pareto Distribution Applied to Petroleum Field-Size Distributions

Christopher C. Barton, R. A. Crovelli

Earth and Environmental Sciences

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter is from the book Fractals in Petroleum Geology and Earth Processes , which renowned experts discuss the applications of fractals in petroleum research-offering an excellent introduction to the subject. Contributions cover a broad spectrum of applications from petroleum exploration to production. Papers also illustrate how fractal geometry can quantify the spatial heterogeneity of different aspects of geology and how this information can be used to improve exploration and production results.
