Based on the generalized Perkins-Kern-Nordgren model (PKN) for the development of a hyperbolic type vertical hydraulic fracture, an exact solution is obtained for the hydraulic fracture self-oscillations after terminating the fracturing fluid injection. These oscillations are excited by a rarefaction wave that occurs after the injection is stopped. The obtained solution was used to estimate the height, width and half-length of the hydraulic fracture at the time of stopping the hydraulic fracturing fluid injection based on the bottomhole pressure gauge data.

Purpose: To develop a mathematical model and to investigate the bottomhole pressure oscillation process after water injection stopping at the fracturing test termination.
Methodology: An exact solution of the hydraulic facture self-oscillation problem was obtained for linearized equations.
Findings:
On the basis of the generalized PKN model of hyperbolic fracture development, a mathematical model was proposed to describe natural oscillations of a symmetric hydraulic fracture after stopping water injection wen terminating the fracturing test.
Neglecting of water filtration through the fracture walls, an analytical solution for the direct problem of natural fracture oscillations was obtained.
Using the obtained solution on the basis of the bottomhole pressure gauge data, the fracture geometry was evaluated, including half-length
