imhomcgemeity ard anisot~'Ol~ of an aq~ifor can Be distinguished from each other and irdividually evaluated. It is shown that the anisotropic n a t ~ e of the aqmife~ is a direct result of the fract1:rimg amd that this behaviot~ can be predicted by att~lyingthe fract~e patterns and ~Ice versa. 836070 ~JC~ET FORMATION RESS~WVOIR CHARACTERISTICS AFFECTrN~ PRODUC'HON IN " r ~ ( F ~ U S T Bk~T OF ~ N WYOMIN~ Lindquist, S J J Pet Technol, VB~, NS, July 1983, P13~-136~ The J~m-assic/Triassic Nugget Sandstorm is a text~rally heterogeneous reservoir with anisotropic properties inherited from the depositional envlrorment, and ftu'ther medified by dlagenesis and tectonic stresses that have folded and faulted the region. The wide range in porosity ard permeability is primarily a result of textural properties due to the depositioral enviromment. Diagenesis has slightly reduced the reservoir quality by intergrara~lar cementation stud clay mineralization. Tectonimm has f~rther degraded the reservoir due to low-permeability gouge-filled fractures.

836071 FRACTURE RESerVOIR SIMULATION Th~nas, L K; Dixon, T N; Pierson, R G Soc Pet Er~r J, V23, NI, Feb 1983, I ~ 2 - ~ Presents a three-dimension~l, three phase model for simulating the flow of water, oll and gas in a naturally fractured reservoir. A dual porosity system describes fluids present in fractures and matrix blocks. Fracture flow equations and matrix/fractu~re flow are solved. Example problems are presented to demonstrate the use of the model : gas and water injection.

Two finite element programs were used to evaluate groundwater flow, water table elevation, depth of flow field, amd distribution of hydraulic comd~ctivlty. 836076 HYDROGEOLOGY OF PIPELINE CANYON, NFAR GALLUP, NE~ MEXICO Raymondi, R R; Cormad, R C Ground Water, V21, N2, March-April 1983,

m88-198 HBmlrologic ard geologic investigations were carried out to attcly the flow systems in the Car~on sedimentary rocks 8x~ to assess the effects of fracturing on grourdwater recharge. It is concluded that factors responsible for efficient capture of recharge are: increased rock fract~img due to basement faulting, steeply dipping rocks which allow gravity entry of water along fracturesj dissolution of sandatones in the recharge area I and thick deposits of alluvium often entrenched in the fractt~re zomes. 836077 N00RDBERGUM EFFECNf AND CKARACTERIZATION OF A~UITARDS AT THE RIO MAIOR MINING PROJECT Rodrigltez, J D Ground Water, V21, N2, March-April 1983, P200-207 The planned exploitation of the Rio Maior lignite deposits which overlie a leaky sand aquifer will require an extensive dewatering program. Characterization of the aquifer was accomplished by performing p i i n g tests. Aquitards were characterized by using both laboratory and field tests to determine hydra%tlic conductivityj anl the results were compared. D~rir~ the Immping teats the Noordbea%n~n effect (a reversal of water level resl~nse) was observed. Two discharge systems are to be used in the project one to depressurize the sardy aquifer and one to dewater the overlying lignlte-diatomlte complex. 836078 HI~IC AND T159 PROGRAMS FOR ANISOTROPIC CONF I ~ D AOUTFERS Parr, A D; Melville, J G; Molz, F J Ground Water, %"21, N2, March-April 1983, P212-220
