Abstract
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.
