    Casing Design

    This course will focus on casing design, both from an engineering and an operation perspective.  Design concepts will be covered for a wide range of straightforward, as well as hostile environments.  The course will examine the nomenclature of casing design, manufacturing processes, material properties and material selection.  The theory of burst, collapse, and axial loading will be discussed, along with design policies and procedures.  Important API specifications and other industry standards will be discussed in order for the participants to become familiar with these documents.  Connection and special cases, including HPHT and sour service, will be covered.  Casing setting depths and depth design concepts will also be covered in detail. 

    A significant part of the course will involve exercises and self-paced (homework) activities which may be completed outside the classroom schedule.  Participants should have a personal calculator and access to a computer with a spreadsheet software program. Participants will need to know how to enter formulas into their spreadsheet software. 

    This course will be delivered in a class driven process.  The instructor, along with the participants, will team together to set the pace of learning.  Lectures interspersed with classroom discussion and exercises will be used to ensure understanding and integration of concepts needed to evaluate potential service requirements, give recommendations, and select the appropriate tubulars. The exact schedule and depth of content covered during the course will be tailored to the interest and needs of the audience and may deviate from what is shown in the daily schedule.

    Well designers, drilling engineers, well construction supervisors, engineering managers, drilling supervisors, directional drillers, and service company personnel needing an in-depth understanding of tubular design for well construction.

    Participants will need to have a solid understanding of wellbore geometry, well construction, and basic mechanical concepts.  The course will involve numerous calculations, as a result participants will need good math skills and a basic scientific calculator. Portable computers with a spreadsheet software will be used to allow participants to capture design formulas which are introduced in the class.

    Currently there are no scheduled classes for this course.
