Fracture volume (GDK method)

Input(s)

Q: Flow Rate (B/m)(\mathrm{B} / \mathrm{m})

μ\mu: Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

L: Length (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

H\mathrm{H}: Height (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

G: Shear Modulus (psi)

Output(s)

VfV_{f}: Fracture Volume (ft3)\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)

Formula(s)

Vf=0.03561(μQ L6H3G)0.25\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}=0.03561 *\left(\mu_{*} \mathrm{Q} * \mathrm{~L}^{6} * \frac{\mathrm{H}^{3}}{\mathrm{G}}\right)^{0.25}
