Abstract
A method for evaluating an integrity of a liner disposed in a wellbore, that contacts a formation through a cement layer between the liner and the formation, includes computing a stress on a boundary of the liner by an iteration procedure that implements an analytical solution of stresses on a liner-cement interface and a cement-formation interface using the geometric data, performing numerical simulations using the computational numerical model to calculate a magnitude and distribution of stresses acting on the liner-cement interface and the cement-formation interface, performing numerical simulations with the actual in-situ stresses to replace the mean in-situ stress on the outer boundary of formation layer to calculate magnitude and distribution of stresses acting on the liner-cement and cement-formation interfaces using the calibrated computational mesh and applying the calculated stresses acting on the liner to a liner integrity evaluation model to determine an integrity of the liner at a plurality of stages of the wellbore.
