Abstract
A method for determining one or more parameters of a formation fracture comprises injecting a viscous fluid in the formation via a flow path; measuring pressure at a location along the flow path; and calculating one or more parameters of a formation fracture based on the measured pressure. The method may permit improved and/or more efficient planning, design and/or performance of, e.g. conformance treatment of the formation fracture.
