casing design

Course Description

This course focuses on casing design both from an engineering and operational perspective. Design rules are provided for a wide range of both straightforward and hostile environments. It examines the nomenclature of casing design, the manufacturing processes, materials and properties, the theory of burst, collapse and axial loadings, design policies and procedures, API specifications with review of the theory behind these and their limitations, connections and special cases such as HP/HT and sour service.

Audience

• Drilling engineers, drilling supervisors, trainee drillers, rig engineers and service company personnel with basic drilling engineering.

Prerequisites

• Understanding of wellbore geometry, basics of mechanical concepts, basic math skills. Course involves numerous calculations - basic scientific calculators will be needed.
