Analysis of Wellbore Integrity System

Abstract:

Wellbore system is the flow channel of the well fluid and the key link of pressure control. Along with more and more frequent accidents caused by the failure of well integrity in recent years, how to ensure well integrity in physics and function has become a research focus. Based on the analysis of the domestic and foreign papers about well integrity and well integrity management, this paper explained the concepts and histories related to well integrity, the dangerous consequences resulting from the failure of wellbore integrity and the reasons of the failure are analyzed selectively. Then, proposed the research direction of the wellbore integrity and the main problems that could be solved respectively.
