Shale gas well casing deformation failure is extremely serious in complex fracturing process. Based on the elastic mechanics theory, the distribution law of casing’s maximum equivalent stress field with the non uniform external extrusion is calculated by the complex variable function method. Meanwhile, casing deformation failure mechanism with non uniform external extrusion is revealed. For another, the maximum equivalent stress of the casing is analyzed with the case of a/b=2 and a/b=5. The result shows that the unevenness of the extrusion load has a great influence on the casing maximum equivalent stress distribution. The findings provide technical support for casing design and selection in complex fracturing process of shale gas well.

Casing radial deformation during complex fracturing process was seriously for shale gas wells in Sichuan district of China, and the average casing deformation rate in the region is of 50%. The bridge plug, perforating gun and other tools cannot successfully pass with deformed casing. Aiming at the 3-D logging morphology for deformed casing of shale gas wells, the failure modes and mechanisms were analyzed by using elasticity and theoretical mechanics. Many factors were evaluated and integrated to achieve quantitative evaluation model including geology feature, wellbore trajectory, cement property, casing material and hydrofracture process. With the aid of the self-developed unconventional oil and gas well casing simulation test equipment, the casing bearing capacity with shear load were carried out, established the relationship between shear load value and radial deformation, and further constructed the casing failure criterion with shear force. This work can provide technical support for casing design and selection in shale gas wells.

Based on the design conditions,the structure strength and modal analysis are carried on the impeller by One-way Fluid-structure Interaction technique in ANSYS Workbench platform. The results show that under the water stress, the maximum deformation occurs on the brink of the blade, the maximum equivalent stress occurs at the liner near the blade pressure surface, the deformation of the blade has a great influence on the vibration of the pump.

The well integrity issues in oil and gas wells have a long history, especially in the shale gas development, which has a direct impact on improving single well production of shale gas horizontal wells. Reviewing the domestic and foreign literature researches, the development status of major shale gas blocks at home and abroad were introduced. Well integrity failure characteristics of major shale gas blocks at home and abroad were counted and analyzed in detail. Finally, considering the shale gas development blocks in China as an example, the structural integrity (casing deformation) and seal integrity (Sustained Casing/Annulus pressure, SCP/SAP) were analyzed by clarifying the failure mechanism that well integrity issues affected shale gas production and that shale gas well integrity issues in China are a new problem was thought. The failure mechanism of shale gas well integrity needs to be further clarified, and a complete set of failure prediction and control methods has not yet been formed. Therefore, based on the concept of shale gas geology-engineering integration, taking into account the actual conditions of shale gas development blocks, it is proposed to scientifically and reasonably study shale gas well integrity failure mechanisms and their control methods, which has a reference and guidance to improve shale gas development.

The problem of casing deformation caused by fault slippage due to the hydraulic fracturing process in Changning-Weiyuan area, Sichuan Province, has seriously affected the economic benefits of shale gas wells. In order to clarify the relationship between the strength of fractured rock mass, the size of fractured rock mass, and the parameters of cement sheath, based on the characteristics of artificial shale formation during hydraulic fracturing, the shale strength is reduced. The finite element model of the casing, cement sheath and formation is analyzed, and the deformation law of the casing during the shale strength reduction process is analyzed. The results show that the greater the reduction of the strength of the shale, the greater the risk of shear deformation of the casing. The fracturing height has a great influence on the casing deformation, which increases substantially linearly, and the crack width has little effect on the casing deformation. 2 The Young’s modulus of the cement sheath has little effect on the deformation of the casing, and reducing the Young’s modulus of the cement sheath cannot effectively alleviate the deformation of the casing. Increasing the wall thickness of the cement sheath increases the contact area between the cement sheath and the formation, and the degree of deformation increases. 3 increasing the wall thickness of the casing can alleviate the deformation degree of the casing, and the wall thickness of the casing should be optimized during the fracturing process. The research results have a certain guiding role for the prevention and treatment of casing deformation.

Under the influence of COVID-19, the economic benefits of shale gas development are greatly affected. With the large-scale development and utilization of shale gas in China, it is increasingly important to assess the economic impact of shale gas development. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for predicting the production of shale gas reservoirs, and uses back propagation (BP) neural network to nonlinearly fit reservoir reconstruction data to obtain shale gas well production forecasting models. Experiments show that compared with the traditional BP neural network, the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy and stability of the prediction. There is a nonlinear correlation between reservoir reconstruction data and gas well production, which does not apply to traditional linear prediction methods
