Course Objective:
Reviewing methodologies for casing and tubing. Also, material applications and selection for brittle fracture will be examined. Special problems concerning the design of critical wells will be covered.
Course Outline:
- Introduction to casing and tubing design.
- Failure criteria and theories of strength.
- Combined loading.
- Probabilistic design.
- Load combinations for standard and non-standard to loading.
- Working stress design.
- Selection of materials for casing and tubing applications.
- Fundamental of corrosion.
- Fracture mechanics applied to environmental cracking.
- Buckling and post buckling behaviour of casing and tubing.
- Annular pressure build-up and mitigation methods.
- Casing wear and impact on strength.
- Thermal cycling and loading design.
- Wellhead growth.
- Deepwater conductor design.
- Designing with expendables.
Who Can Benefit:
Engineers in operating companies interested in advanced design concepts applied to casing and tubing design.
