    Abstract: Method for characterizing subterranean formation is described. One method involves simulating a poroelastic pressure response of known fracture geometry utilizing a geomechanical model to generate a simulated poroelastic pressure response. Compiling a database of simulated poroelastic pressure responses. Measuring a poroelastic pressure response of the subterranean formation during a hydraulic fracturing operation to generate a measured poroelastic pressure response. Identifying a closest simulated poroelastic pressure response in the library of simulated poroelastic pressure response. Estimating a geometrical parameter of a fracture or fractures in the subterranean formation based on the closest simulated poroelastic pressure response.
