Characterizing Surface Roughness From Pressure-Joint Closure Measurements Using Inversion Procedure
An inversion procedure has been formulated to estimate the surface roughness of a joint (fracture) from the measured pressure-closure data. A gamma distribution for the local minima (or maxima) on a topography profile was used to account for the skewness in the measured distribution of the asperi...
