42、 well integrity has two areas of focus and is limited to onshore wells. The first is to design andexecute the well plan such that useable quality groundwater is isolated and protected during the drilling andsubsequent fracture stimulation operations. The second is to design and construct the well an

43、d install well equipmentto meet the expected fracture load requirements. Fracture containment combines those parameters that are existing, those that can be established at installation, andthose that can be controlled during execution as follows: existingformation parameters with associated range of

44、 uncertainties; establishedwell barriers and integrity as created during well construction; controllablefracture design and execution parameters.Although the typical industry-wide practices associated with well construction are similar, there are considerablevariations in the details of individual w

45、ell design and construction due to varying geologic, environmental, regulatory,and operational settings and requirements. These practices are the result of operators gaining localized and specificknowledge based on experience, along with the development and improvements associated with technology. T

46、heseexperiences and practices are communicated and shared via academic training, professional and trade associationliterature, and industry standards and publications. Well and fracture design is an iterative and collaborative processbalancing equipment limitations and economics with regulatory and

47、technical requirements.API 65-2 and other standards under development address topics covering the design, construction, and operation ofonshore wells that are important and closely related to the subject of well integrity and containment of hydraulicfracturing treatments. This document provides tech

48、nical guidance only, and practices included herein may not be applicable in all regionsand/or circumstances.
