Hi all

Can anyone share your experience with casing deformation while Frac'ing.

Is it caused due to overburden or selection of Perforating charge vs proppant diameter or a result of rock shear due to change in downhole seismology. How can this be overcome. Appreciate your views.

Yes to all of the possible causes you mentioned. Other causes relate to fracturing conditions when pumping the frac.  I am working on multiple failures of this type.
