Successful unconventional oil and gas production relies on horizontal drilling and hydraulic stimulation. Wellbore casing deformation–including distributed bending (buckling), zones of ovality, and discrete shearing–can hinder deployment of downhole tools and, in severe cases, lead to complete well loss. Geological factors (e.g., stress and pore pressure states, rock properties) represent root causes for wellbore casing damage that can result from discrete slip of faults, fractures, and bedding
