Abstract The productivity of wells in fractured reservoirs depends, terms rate and sustainability, on the heterogeneity variable connectivity open fracture network. Outcrop studies Cretaceous carbonates from Catalan Pyrenees illuminate this issue reveal degree uncertainty associated with interpretation data seismic. Three examples are chosen to provide verifiable data, parameters concepts which can be applied workflow reservoir characterization. We discuss properties distributions subseismic volume, coupled behaviour between litho-mechanical properties, situ stress fracturing, permeability fault damage zones. outcrops also highlight some difficulties involved constructing static models evaluating interpretations derived software-based techniques such as surface curvature.
