Fracture gradient (Eaton)

Input(s)

v: Poisson (dimensionless)

SvS_{v}: Vertical Stress (psi)

PpP_{p}: Pore Pressure (psi)

Output(s)

Shmin S_{\text {hmin }}: Minimum Horizontal Stress (psi)

Formula(s)

Shmin=(v1v)( SvPp)+Pp\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{hmin}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{1-\mathrm{v}}\right) *\left(\mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{v}}-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)+\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{p}}
