Fracture gradient (Holbrook)

Input(s)

v: Poisson (dimensionless)

SvS_{v}: Vertical Stress (psi)

PpP_{p}: Pore Pressure (psi)(\mathrm{psi})

Output(s)

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

Formula(s)

Shmin=(v1v)(SvPp)+PpS_{h \min }=\left(\frac{v}{1-v}\right) *\left(S_{v}-P_{p}\right)+P_{p}
