The purpose of modelling the fractures is to create simulation properties with the power to predict the reservoir behaviour. Petrel software is one of the best softwares in the market that can do this task very well, but there is no available educational paper for every researcher. Therefore, in this work, a fracture modelling job was done in one of the most important Iranian fields using Petrel software and image log data. The purpose of this work was  to determine the new information of the fractures in Gachsaran field and also to prepare a valuable educational paper for other researchers who are interested to learn about the fracture modelling. This work revealed that in this field, the longitudinal fractures had been parallel to minimum stress (Zagros trend), fracture intensity was the nearest to the major fault and northern flank, fracture porosity was 0-7%, fracture permeability was 0-6000 MD, and more valuable information is provided in this paper.
