Casing Deformation Induced By Fault Slip During Shale Hydraulic Fracturing

This book systematically clarifies the casing deformation prevention and control technologies based on the integration of research area of both geology and engineering. These technologies incorporate reservoir geomechanics, casing deformation mechanics and hydraulic fracturing mechanics. It covers fluid channel-fault activation model and casing deformation mechanisms, types and formation conditions of fluid channels, casing deformation risk prediction technology, casing deformation early warning technology based on microseismic and fracturing treatment curves, casing deformation control technology based on hydraulic fracturing simulation and casing deformation prevention strategy. This book is a valuable reference for both technical personnel and graduate students working in petroleum engineering, rock mechanics and reservoir geomechanics.
