Fracture pore volume = Vef

Created by Arthur Aslanyan (Nafta College), last modified on Jul 05, 2021

Total volume of the fracture opening:

(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle V_{ef} = V_f \cdot \phi_f = 2 \cdot X_f \cdot w_f \cdot \phi_f\end{array}$

where

$\begin{array}{l}V_f\end{array}$	fracture volume
$\begin{array}{l}X_f\end{array}$	fracture half-length
$\begin{array}{l}w_f\end{array}$	fracture width
$\begin{array}{l}\phi_f\end{array}$	fracture porosity
