Fracture area of a hydraulically fractured formation

Input(s)

$q_{i}$: Injection Rate $\left(\mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{min}\right)$

$W$ : Fracture Thickness $(\mathrm{ft})$

$t$: Injection Time (min)

C: Fracture Liquid Coefficient $(\mathrm{m} / \sqrt{\min })$

Output(s)

$A(t)$: Fracture Area in time " $\mathrm{t}$ " $\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)$
