ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the geometry of a fracture in a subterranean formation is provided in which the geometry is determined using net fracturing pressure. The method can be used for both fracture design and on-site or post treatment fracture analysis. The method in accordance with the present invention takes into account net pressures throughout the fracturing treatment and compensates for friction pressure in the fracture.
