At the same time, the scale of underground hydrogen storage, underground compressed air energy storage, and underground carbon dioxide storage has also increased rapidly. In the above scenarios, it is usually necessary to use a wellbore to establish a channel from underground to the ground, and the production string in the wellbore is the direct channel for gas injection and production. The production string is connected by steel tubing and related components, but under the combined pressure of stress, load, and fluid, it is prone to seal failure and perforation cracking. In related technologies, when the production string has seal failure and perforation cracking, it is first necessary to determine the failure or cracking position of the production string, and then seal and treat this position through chemical plugging agents or mechanical patches to complete the repair of the production string. However, in related technologies, there are often dirt or solid-phase deposits on the inner wall of the production string. Sealing the failure or cracking position through chemical plugging agents or mechanical patches cannot form an effective seal with the inner wall of the production string, making it impossible to solve the problem of production string leakage.
