Unconventional resources continue to be considered as major cornerstones of today's energy economy delivery, even in the middle of an ongoing energy transition. Amid this transformative progress, an inconvenient complication that could potentially hinder the economic viability has begun to emerge and be experienced in multi-fractured horizontal wells: casing deformations limiting downhole accessibility. While not compromising well integrity, these deformations can occur prior to, during, or after the execution of fracturing operations and can impede subsequent planned hydraulic fracturing stages and potentially limit access to the well sections deeper than these restrictions.
This talk will provide an overview of much of the work published to-date on this subject, including reported statistics from various basins regarding casing deformation, deformation types, and discussion of strategies related to diagnostics, mitigation, and recovery. It will also highlight the ongoing work being done within the SPE Well Integrity Technical Section’s Casing Deformation Work Group and the envisioned way forward to achieving the Work Group’s mission of reducing the impact and increasing the understanding of casing deformations in these applications.
