In order to improve the efficiency and success rate of sidetracking in high-strength thick-walled casing, we use shaped charge jet to penetrate the casing to reduce the milling workload of milling cone. This paper established a model of shaped charge jet penetrating casing, and analyzed the effects of charge liner structures, charge quantity, and charge liner material. The results show that with the decrease of standoff distance, the velocity attenuation rate of the jet will increase in the process of penetrating the casing. Under standoff distance of 1D, the velocity attenuation rate of the trumpet-shaped liner (TSL) is the smallest, the TSL has a good ability to expand the aperture, and can form a funnel-shaped hole with a large diameter at the front end, and has the largest penetration volume. The charge quantity does not directly affect the penetration volume. The 70-1D charge combination has the largest penetration depth, the largest front diameter of the hole, and the larger penetration volume. The jet velocity of aluminum and titanium is much higher than that of other materials; tungsten and titanium have the largest penetration volume. When the material density in the charge liner's truncation is greater than that of the curve section, such combination material charge liners achieve better penetration effects. The titanium-tungsten charge liner exhibits the best penetration performance on the casing, forming a hole with a volume of 11369.2 mm3 and an outlet diameter of 18.8 mm on the TP110TS casing. In summary, at standoff distance of 1D, the TSL with 70-1D charge combination and titanium-tungsten material combination has the best penetration effect on casing. This study has certain guiding significance for the application of shaped charge jet assisted window sidetracking technology.
