  • Publication number: 20220357479
    Abstract: A wireline width measuring apparatus and associated method which may be used to measure static and dynamic fracture width in fractures used for energy storage, water injection, or hydrocarbon production. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining a depth of the formation fracture, determining the depth of the bottom of the wellbore, positioning a caliper tool string comprising a caliper apparatus at the bottom of the wellbore, wherein the caliper apparatus is positioned at a depth capable of measuring movement of a window cut into a casing of the wellbore at the depth of the formation fracture, inflating the fracture by injecting a fluid into the fracture, uninflating the fracture by producing the fluid from the fracture, and measuring movement of the window cut into the wellbore while the fracture is inflated and uninflated.
