Abstract: Vertical fracture height from hydraulic fracturing is very important for calculating fracture length and width.Based on parameters for fracturing operation and well temperature logging data, empirical formula abroad was modified, and then a formula for calculating fracture height was established, which is simple and reliable and suitable for Xiang 4 gas reservoir in Bajiaochang gas field in Sichuan.
