The introduction of the Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) feature to RS3 represents a significant advancement in the field of geological modelling. It allows for a highly realistic representation of subsurface geological structures by capturing the complex and heterogeneous nature of discontinuities. Accounting for DFN’s in your 3D modelling is critical to understanding the geological impact of your site’s
What is ATV/OTV? ATV/OTV stands for acoustic televiewer and optical televiewer. This type of data produces high-resolution and continuous 360-degree images of the borehole wall. These images provide a combination of qualitative and quantitative information of the borehole wall that can be used to characterise planar (at the borehole scale) features (fractures, bedding,
