摘要：

With the rapid development of shale gas exploration and development in China, casing deformation in shale gas horizontal wells happens frequently, which directly impacts the development efficiency and benefits of shale gas. In order to explore casing deformation prediction, prevention and treatment methods, this paper analyzes the geological and engineering causes of casing deformation in shale-gas horizontal wells through laboratory work, such as the casing resistance to internal pressure alternating test, the ground simulation test and systematical casing deformation characteristic analysis of MIT24 caliper logging, and the large-scale physical simulation test and numerical simulation of casing deformation. Then, combined with the generalized shear activity criterion, a new method for evaluating casing deformation risk points and some technical measures for preventing casing deformation were formulated. And the following research results were obtained. First, the deformation characteristics of 119 casing deformation points in 23 wells interpreted by MIT24 caliper logging are consistent with the mechanical behaviors of shear compression deformation test. Second, the large-scale physical simulation test shows that natural fractures slip obviously under the state of strike slip stress. Third, numerical simulation shows that the compression stress on casing increases with the increase of fault slip. When the fault slip is between 7.5 mm and 9.0 mm, the casing reaches the critical yield strength and begins to undergo plastic deformation. The "temporary fracture plugging + long segment and multiple clusters" and other technologies are field tested in 28 wells in Weiyuan area of southern Sichuan Basin. The casing deformation rate decreases from 54% (before this research) to 14.3%, and the segment loss rate decreases from 7.8% to 0, which reveals remarkable achievements in casing deformation treatment. In conclusion, the shear slip of faults and macro fractures (referred to as fault-fracture) is the main cause of casing deformation in shale gas horizontal wells, and some measures (e.g." temporary fracture plugging + long segment and multiple clusters", reducing fracturing scale and releasing wellbore pressure properly) shall be taken in advance to reduce the fault-fracture activity before the risk point of casing deformation is fractured, so as to reach the goal of casing deformation prevention. © 2021, Natural Gas Industry Journal Agency.
