How to improve the anti-collapse performance of oil casing?

In fact, oil casing collapse is a common damage form of oil casing. However, although it is relatively common, how can we prevent oil casing damage? The anti-collapse properties of petroleum casing have always been the key to our concern, and the prediction and application of the anti-collapse strength of petroleum-specific pipelines has always been the focus of scientific research.


It can be seen from the model that when D/S is in the plastic collapse and transitional collapse zone, the ellipticity is very obvious, and the ellipticity has become the process control factor that interferes with the primary specification quality of the compressive strength value; when D/S is in the When the residual stress is not significant in the elastic collapse zone or yield collapse zone, the nominal yield strength should be adjusted as much as possible. The K-T model better predicts the anti-fragmentation characteristics of oil casing at this stage, but its formula calculation coefficient depends on the level of each company. In fact, deep wells must not only consider the interference of high temperature on the strength of oil casing, but also the interference of high temperature on the elastic mold and Poisson's ratio of the pipe material. Such factors will eventually interfere with the pipeline's ability to resist collapse under service conditions. Ultra-thick wall casing is an effective way to resolve the problem of abnormally high-pressure formation collapse in deep wells.


The anti-collapse oil casing should use a temperature-controlled heat treatment process to increase the tempering temperature as much as possible to meet the yield strength requirements, increase the straightening temperature, and reduce residual stress. It is recommended to use external impact heat treatment technology and internal injection synchronous phase change technology. Improve the quenching depth and structural uniformity of the pipe body. However, due to the directionality and anisotropy of formation pressure, the stress ring mirror of J55 oil casing is particularly severe, and the collapse and damage of the casing is even more serious. In fact, it is recommended to improve the safety performance of oil casing against collapse. However, the anti-collapse strength of casing is its original engineering property and cannot change with the characteristics of formation stress distribution. The above is how to improve the anti-collapse characteristics of oil casing.
