Advanced Casing Design

This Gulf Rowad Oil & Gas Technology training course on Advanced Casing Design will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative.  It includes the following:

• The basis for the published API tubular strengths
• How to design drive pipe to sustain a compressive load
• How to design conductor, intermediate, drilling liners, and production casing strings for burst, collapse and tension
• How to select connections
• How to take biaxial and triaxial loading into account
• How to design for bending, point loading, ballooning, and buckling
• How to take wear into consideration
• How temperature reduces yields strength
• Recommended sequence for combination considerations
• A complete integrated procedure for designing oilfield tubulars

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Conduct casing design calculations for different load cases via different methods
• Understand how buckling affects casing design limitations and show an appreciation for mitigating its effects
• Appreciate the effects of temperature and wear on casing design
• Understand how corrosion can reduce casing life / performance, recognize signs of corrosion

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Drilling Supervisor
• Site Drilling Engineers
• Project Engineers
• Operation Engineers

Organisational Impact
