CASING DESIGN  FUNDAMENTALS 

Drilling a hole for hydrocarbons production (or fluids injection for pressure maintenance) could be a hazardous task if the hole is not properly protected as the well is deepened. A number of factors have to be considered as the well gets deeper, like diversified geological structures, with different rock properties, faults, thief zones, toxic materials, pore pressures, etc. Running a column of steel pipe (casing) in the hole, will make it possible to drill the well in a safe way to TD (Total Depth). The course will look in detail at the main functions of the casing and how to properly design it.

COURSE DURATION: 2 days

​

LEVEL: Skill

​

DESIGNED FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE...

  • Drilling Engineer,

  • Completion Engineer,

  • Petroleum Engineer

 

HOW WE BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE

Preferably the course will be taught face-to-face, supported by a power point presentation and several examples. Exercises will complement the theoretical presentation.

​

THE BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING

The participants will learn about the several important functions of the casing, types of casing strings (and liners), casing and connections properties, how to design a casing string and how to run-in-hole a casing string.

 

By the end of the course, you will feel confident in your understanding of:

What is the importance of running a properly designed casing string.
