Techniques for calibration of a simulation of a subterranean region having complex fracture geometries. Calibration of indeterministic subsurface discrete fracture network models is performed via non-intrusive embedded discrete fracture modeling formulations applied in conjunction with well testing interpretation and numerical simulation. Subterranean fracture networks are characterized dynamically by embedded discrete fracture modeling to accurately and efficiently determine an optimal fracture model.

A method for imaging a downhole formation. The method includes combining the captured images to generate a partial image of the formation, wherein the partial image includes captured images separated by gaps representing portions of the formation not captured with sensors what were disposed downhole. The method includes locating dips in the formation within the partial image and interpolating the partial image using the located dips within the partial image.

Systems and methods include a method for providing an integrated advanced visualization tool for geosteering underbalanced coiled tubing drilling (UBCTD) operations. Drilling operation data is received from different sources in real time during a drilling operation. The drilling operation data includes geological formation information recorded during the drilling operation, micropalaeontological test results of the drilling operation, drilling parameters being used during the drilling operation, cumulative productivity index calculations, and reservoir pressure information of reservoirs encountered during the drilling operation. The drilling operation data is analyzed to correlate elements of the drilling operation data by time and cumulative depth. A graph is generated in real time that includes multiple plots correlated as a function of cumulative depth over time.
