When collecting [[fracture]] data from outcrops, one should look for rocks similar to the [[reservoir]] rocks of interest on similar outcropping structures. Look at more of the rock section than just the prospective reservoir rock, including potential sealing beds, and pay attention to relative fracture intensity between layered units.

* Select outcrop areas having representative fracture patterns for specific structural positions. Record [[strik]]e and [[dip]] data, or at least strike data. Additional sites can be chosen for one unit at different positions within the structure.
