  "term": "Fracture half-length",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "The distance from the center of a wellbore to the tip of one wing of a hydraulic fracture, assuming a symmetrical fracture extending in opposite directions. This parameter defines the extent of the stimulated reservoir volume and is a key output of fracture design models and post-treatment well test analysis. For a vertically fractured vertical well, the total fracture length from tip to tip is twice the half-length.",
