Abstract
Fracturing technology can increase the benefits of developing unconventional low-grade resources. However, while fracturing increases the benefits of field development, the problem of casing failure also arises. To investigate the influencing factors of casing failure during oilfield development, this paper constructs a finite element model of casing-cement ring-formation combination and simulates the stress and casing deformation distribution of casing after fracturing for the three cases of formation elastic modulus, construction pressure, and cement ring elastic modulus during fracturing. The results show that the casing load increases as the formation elastic modulus decreases and that the casing stress decreases as the cement ring elastic modulus increases. The construction pressure is an important factor affecting the casing load and displacement. Control of the construction pressure within 90MPa can effectively reduce casing damage
