A new chart of hydraulic fracture height prediction based on fluid–solid coupling equations and rock fracture mechanics

The conventional method to predict hydraulic fracture height depends on linear elastic mechanics, and the typical Gulrajani–Nolte chart fails to reflect fracture height when the net pressure in the fracture is too high. Based on fluid–solid coupling equations and rock fracture mechanics, a new chart...
