Abstract:
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements from a downhole well tool in a wellbore are obtained to identify length of fractures adjacent the wellbore. A ground penetrating radar transmitter of the downhole tool emits an electromagnetic pulse. The electromagnetic wave of the ground penetrating radar is diffracted on encountering an end or tip of a fracture, which acts as a secondary source. The diffracted signal is then collected by downhole receiver(s) of the downhole tool. Length of the fracture is determined based on the time of travel of the electromagnetic wave from its emission until its collection as a diffracted signal by the downhole receiver(s).

Claim (Index 1):
A data processing system for determining location of end portions of a fracture in a subsurface formation penetrated by a well, comprising the steps of:\n (a) an uphole telemetry system receiving an uphole signal from a well logging tool in the well measures of the sensed time of receipt of diffracted ground penetrating radar electromagnetic energy sensed by a radar receiver in the well logging tool after emission of electromagnetic energy by a ground penetrating radar electromagnetic energy transmitter in the well logging tool; (b) a processor computer processing the received uphole signal to determine from the measures of the sensed time of receipt of the received electromagnetic energy the location of end portions of the fracture in the subsurface formation.
