A ''fractured reservoir'' is one in which naturally occurring fractures either have or are predicted to have a significant effect on reservoir fluid flow in the form of (1) increased reservoir [[permeability]], (2) increased [[porosity]], and/or (3) increased permeability anisotropy. Four basic types of reservoir fractures can be defined ([[:file:evaluating-fractured-reservoirs_fig1.png|Figure 1]]):
