Determination of Hydraulic Properties of a Large Self-Propped Hydraulic Fracture in the Geothermal Research Borehole Horstberg Z1 in the Northwest German Basin

Figure 6

Measured (dotted) and calculated pressure (solid) vs. square root of time of the Detfurth (red) and the Solling (green), for the two limiting fracture lengths 2xf = 1000 m and 2000 m and Detfurth transmissivity TD = 1.5·10-14 m3. Calculated flow rate records of the Detfurth sandstone (red) and the fracture (blue) for the same parameters as left.
