The fractures propagate out from a borehole (from which they are induced) and may be used to release natural gas and petroleum, for example. However, in a hydraulic fracturing process, the characteristics of the resulting fracture are unpredictable and not readily discernible even after completion of the process.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] Referring now to the drawings wherein like elements are numbered alike in the several Figures: [0006] FIG. 1 depicts a system to find the length of a fracture according to an embodiment of the invention;
[0007] FIG. 2 details the isolated portion of the borehole according to an embodiment of the invention; and
[0008] FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of a method of determining a length of a fracture according to an embodiment of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] Embodiments of the invention described herein may be used to determine the length of a fracture as a radial distance from the axis of the borehole used to induce the fracture.
[0010] FIG. 1 depicts a system to find the length of a fracture according to an embodiment of the invention. A fracture is induced from a borehole 2 penetrating the earth 1. The fracture begins at the intersection with the boundary of the borehole 2 and expands in three dimensions into the wing of the fracture 110 shown in FIG. 1. The packers 120, 125 are used to isolate a portion of the borehole 2 between the two packers 120, 125 so that the portion of the borehole 2 may act as a cylindrical resonator. The portion of the borehole 2 isolated by the packers 120, 125 includes the end of the fracture that intersects the borehole 2 boundary which expands into the wing of the fracture 110. The packer 120 is equipped with a cylindrical pipe 135 that includes a piston 130 moving inside it. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the pipe 135 is positioned within the packer 120 such that, when the piston 130 is at its extreme top position inside the pipe 135, the bottom of the piston 130 coincides with the bottom of the packer 120. Fluid pressure in the isolated portion of the borehole 2 is elevated to a pressure that causes the fracture to slightly open and elongate (the fluid being the fluid that had been used in the hydraulic fracturing). A pressure sensor 140 measures the pressure in the isolated portion of the borehole 2.
[0011] The resonance system is then generated in the following way. The movement of the piston 130 inside the pipe 135 forces fluid flow into the fracture and ensures additional filing of the fracture due to the elongation of the fracture in the process of expansion. The fluid entering the fracture props up the ceiling of the fracture and causes elastic deformation, thereby increasing the volume of the fracture and also storing energy in the elastic
deformation field. When fluid propagation reaches its limit, the fluid stops and begins reverse movement back into the isolated portion of the borehole 2 due to the elastic field resulting from the elastic deformation. Because the fluid opens up more of the fracture as the piston initially increases fluid pressure into the fracture, more fluid is needed to fill the isolated portion of the borehole 2 after this process. This additional fluid is introduced through the inlet/outlet valve 123. When the reverse movement of the fluid results in the piston reaching its extreme top position, subsequent fluid movement takes place inside the isolated portion of the borehole 2 due to inertia of the fluid volume. The fluid undergoing elastic compression is similar to the air compression cycle in a Helmholtz resonator. When all fluid movement inside the isolated portion of the borehole 2 stops, the process repeats itself in reverse. The varying volume of the fracture based on the inflow and outflow of fluid (opening up and then collapsing areas of the fracture) generates parametric oscillations as discussed below with reference to a source 150 of oscillations in a cylinder 155. The parameter being modulated by the piston 130 movement to provide the parametric oscillations is the volume.
[0012] FIG. 2 details the isolated portion of the borehole 2 according to an embodiment of the invention. For parametric excitation of the system, a source 150 of radial low-frequency oscillations (e.g., acoustic generator) is placed in the center of a cylinder 150 in the resonator (the resonator being created by the isolated portion of the borehole 2). The source 150 may operate in a pulsed mode emitting short hydraulic pulses of a certain duration and frequency in the presence of constant pressure. The source 150 may be formed by a second piston creating vibrations in the cylinder 155. By varying the pulse frequency (frequency of the periodic oscillations), the system is excited parametrically. The parametric resonance has an excitation threshold with respect to the amplitude of the oscillations, which is determined by the Q-factor of the system, where the Q-factor is a measure of how under- damped the resonator is. The higher the Q-factor, which may be determined theoretically, the lower the excitation threshold (lower oscillation amplitude needed). To boost the Q-factor, fluids with minimal viscosity may be used in the isolated portion of the borehole 2
(resonator). Based on the piston movement and the low-frequency source, a parametric system of resonance oscillations with an eigenfrequency ω is created. By measuring the resonance frequency, the relationship between the eigenfrequency ω of the system and several factors that include fracture length may be used to determine the length of the non- perturbed fracture in the following way. The eigenfrequency ω of the system is determined univalently (on a one-to-one basis) by the fracture length, volume of the isolated portion of the borehole 2, velocity of sound in the fluid, transverse cross-section of the fracture, and elastic moduli of the medium (related to viscosity). On the whole, the system has distributed degrees of freedom. Dependence of the eigenfrequency ω of the system on the fracture length and other parameters may be found theoretically. Further, resonance frequency (R) (related to eigenfrequency ω) may be measured, volume of the isolated portion of the borehole 2 (A) may be determined from the borehole 2 diameter, transverse cross-section of the fracture (B) (width of the fracture at the side of the borehole 2) is known, and viscosity of the fluid which is related to the elastic moduli of the medium (C) is known. Thus, fracture length may then be determined based on the theoretically developed relationship. That is,
R = function (fracture length, A, B, C) [EQ. 1]
By knowing or measuring R, A, B, and C, the fracture length may be determined from EQ. 1. The processing to determine fracture length may be performed by a surface processing system 220 that includes one or more processors and one or more memory devices.
[0013] FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of a method of determining a length of a fracture according to an embodiment of the invention. Isolating a portion of the borehole 2 (block 310) may include positioning the packers 120, 125 as shown in FIGs. 1 and 2, for example. The isolated portion is ensured to include the start of the fraction at the wall of the borehole 2. Increasing fluid pressure in the isolated portion (block 320) may be through the piston 130 movement as described above. At block 330, the method includes deploying a low-frequency source in the isolated portion and at block 340, the method includes varying the frequency of the source (exciting the system parametrically) at constant pressure to generate resonance oscillations in the fracture. Determining the resonance frequency as a function of parameters including fracture length (block 350) may be done theoretically, as described above with reference to EQ 1. At block 360, the method includes determining fracture length based on the function.
[0014] While one or more embodiments have been shown and described,
modifications and substitutions may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the present invention has been described by way of illustrations and not limitation.
