  • In fracturing a horizontal shale gas well, the injection of a high pressure fluid into the well may cause flow of the fracturing fluid along the interface between the casing and the cement sheath and the interface between the cement sheath and the borehole wall, and this imposes a serious challenge to the borehole integrity. A model describing the extension of fractures on both sides of cement sheath under constant injection pressure was established based on the CZM model, and the effects of cement sheath, formation mechanical parameters on the extension of the fractures on the cement sheath were analyzed. The study shows that increasing the cementing strengths of the two interfaces can simultaneously inhibit the extension of the fractures on both sides of the cement sheath. When the elastic modulus of the cement sheath is increased from 4 GPa to 9 GPa, the lengths of the fracture extension on the side of the cement sheath in contact with casing string and on the side of the cement sheath in contact with borehole wall will be reduced by 10 m and 19 m, respectively. When the elastic modulus exceeds 6 MPa, its effect on fracture extension on the side of the cement sheath in contact with borehole wall is becoming weakened. When the Poisson’s ratio is increased from 0.2 to 0.3, the lengths of the fracture extension on the side of the cement sheath in contact with casing string and on the side of the cement sheath in contact with borehole wall will be reduced by 10 m and 1 m, respectively, meaning that the Poisson’s ratio mainly affects the fracture extension on the side of the cement sheath in contact with casing. On the other hand, when the elastic modulus of the formation is increased from 25 GPa to 35 GPa, the lengths of the fracture extension on the side of the cement sheath in contact with casing string and on the side of the cement sheath in contact with borehole wall will be increased by 3 m and 9 m, respectively, meaning that a formation with low elastic modulus is beneficial to the controlling of the fracture extension. The achievements made in the study is of a certain guiding importance to the evaluation of the sealing integrity of the cement sheath in fracturing a horizontal well, and to the optimization of a cement slurry system.
