Casing Deformations are known to pose a challenge to the efficiency and effectiveness of completion operations in multi-fractured horizontal wells in many basins.
The widespread use of hydraulic fracturing in diverse global geographies has revealed an array of deformation modes and suggests high benefit in understanding deformation drivers. This will support the development of best practices and ongoing development of technologies that increase system tolerance for deformation, facilitate mitigation or if deformations do occur, enable good decisions during recovery operations.
