    This document discusses casing design considerations including: 1. The purposes of running casing such as preventing hole collapse and contamination. 2. The types of casing strings like conductor, surface, intermediate, and production casing. 3. How casing is classified based on dimensions, material grade, threads, and weight. 4. The casing design factors for burst, collapse, and tension which ensure the casing can withstand expected pressures and loads with a safety margin. 5. An example casing design problem showing how to calculate burst, collapse, and tension requirements at different depths based on pore pressure and string weight.

    What is casing?

    Casing

    Why run casing?

    Cement

    1. To prevent the hole from caving in


    2. Onshore - to prevent contamination of
    fresh water sands
    3. To prevent water migration to
    producing formation
    3

    1.8-4 Casing Design


    4. To confine production to the wellbore
    5. To control pressures during drilling
    6. To provide an acceptable environment for
    subsurface equipment in producing wells
    7. To enhance the probability of drilling to total
    depth (TD)
    e.g., you need 14 ppg mud to control a lower zone,
    but an upper zone will fracture at 12 lb/gal.
    What do you do?

    (e.g. 1/2)

    3. Grade of material

    (e.g. N-80)

    4. Type to threads and couplings

    (e.g. API LCSG)

    5. Length of each joint (RANGE)

    (e.g. Range 3)

    Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth
    Tensile stress due to weight of string is highest at top

    1.9-5 Casing Design


    Unless otherwise specified in a particular
    problem, we shall also assume the following:
    Worst Possible Conditions
    1. For Collapse design, assume that the
    casing is empty on the inside (p = 0 psig)
    2. For Burst design, assume no backup
    fluid on the outside of the casing (p = 0 psig)
    15

    1.9-6 Casing Design


    Worst Possible Conditions, contd
    3. For Tension design,
    assume no buoyancy effect
    4. For Collapse design,
    assume no buoyancy effect
    The casing string must be designed to stand up to the
    expected conditions in burst, collapse and tension.
    Above conditions are quite conservative. They are also
    simplified for easier understanding of the basic concepts.

    pressure)

    Pressure

    The whole casing string must be capable of


    withstanding this internal pressure without failing in
    burst.
    17

    1.9-8 Casing Design - Solution


    Collapse Requirements
    For collapse design, we start at the bottom
    of the string and work our way up.

    18

    1.9-9 Tension Check


    The weight on the top joint of casing
    would be
    (6,369 ft * 47.0# / ft ) (1,631 ft * 53.5# / ft )
    386,602 lbs actual weight

    With a design factor of 1.8 for tension, a


    pipe strength of
    1.8 * 386,602 695,080 lbf is required
