To find the reasons in the abnormally collapse and countermeasures, first the quality of the tubing was checked. It was founded that the collapse was not resulted from the defect of the tubing. Then, force and stress exerted in the tubing was analyzed taking XS2 well as an example. The analysis results were concluded as follows. The collapsing strength of tubing decreased due to the axial tensile, which is seriously at the upper tubing especially. During injecting, the additional axial force that was caused by the temperature effect increased the tubing near wellhead to suffer axial tensile and further reduced the collapsing strength of tubing near wellhead. Reinforcing defect, prohibiting defect tubing to trip in hole, according to the calculation to impose appropriate annular pressure, selecting size nozzle to reverse pumping and controlling the reverse pumping speed and pressure, prohibiting to be opened flow and reducing or releasing the annular pressure can prevent the well testing tubing down-hole being collapsed at the wellhead.展开更多
