Benchmark and Field-Scale Data for Fracture Evolution Simulation

319.4 MB of simulation data supports two benchmarking cases and one field-scale case of subsurface fracture evolution. The dataset includes field test data, simulation statistics, and visualization outputs from a Discretized Virtual Internal Bond (DVIB) code, as described in a related article. Author Yichen Song published the data under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking fracture propagation models based on acid-driven fracture and calcite precipitation cases
• Validating field-scale subsurface fracture simulations based on data from the Tarim Basin case
• Analyzing coupled process simulation statistics based on the provided .xls files
• Visualizing fracture network evolution based on .txt and .dat files processable with MATLAB and Tecplot

Strengths

• Includes three distinct data categories: field test, simulation statistics, and visualization outputs
• Provides data for two controlled benchmark cases and one real-world field-scale application
• Raw data files are provided in accessible formats (.xls, .txt, .dat) with described processing workflows

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The description is medium-completeness; actual data structure requires manual inspection
