How do you design a casing?
To design a casing string, one must have knowledge of:
- Purpose of the well.
- Geological cross section.
- Available casing and bit sizes.
- Cementing and drilling practices.
- Rig performance.
- Safety and environmental regulations.
What is a casing design factor?
Many factors enter into the production casing design. These include the mud weights required to drill the well and balance the formation pressures, the fracture gradients, casing seat depths, casing sizes, the directional plan, the cement program and the temperature profiles.
What is casing design in drilling?
The design of a casing program involves the selection of setting depths, casing sizes and grades of steel that will allow for the safe drilling, and completion of a well to the desired producing configuration.
What are the two types of casing?
There are three main types of casings: natural, artificial, and reconstituted collagen.
How is casing setting depth determined?
Two main factors determine the depth of the casing shoe, namely, the fracture pressure and the pore pressure. A third factor is the lithology, because it is desirable to place the casing shoe in a competent shale section. Methods to predict fracture gradients for deeper wells already exist.
What is casing operation plan?
Casing is pipe usually larger in diameter and longer than drill pipe and is used to line the hole. Casing operations occur periodically throughout the drilling process starting with the surface casing, intermediate casing, and ending with production string which takes place during well completion.
What are different types of casing?
The five types of casing string are conductor casing, surface casing, intermediate casing, casing liner, and production casing.
What size is production casing?
Casing usually comes in lengths between 40 and 46 ft (12-14 m). Inner Diameter: Because the inner diameter is nominal, a guaranteed inner diameter called the drift diameter is also specified. The drift diameter is typically 1/8″ (3.2 mm) less than the nominal inner diameter.
What is casing yield strength?
1. n. [Drilling] The second part of the designation, a number, refers to the minimum yield strength of the metal (after heat treatment) at 1,000 psi [6895 KPa]. For example, the casing grade J-55 has minimum yield strength of 55,000 psi [379,211 KPa].
What is burst pressure of casing?
Burst pressure is the internal pressure that the tubing as a whole can endure, while collapse pressure is the pressure at which the same casing will “collapse” as a result of difference between the external and internal pressures.
What is casing pipe length?
Kisan Casing Type PVC Casing Pipe, Length Of One Pipe: 10 Feet.
What is the grade of casing?
In the standard, the casing and tubing steel grades are divided into several grades, namely H-40, J-55, K-55, N-80, L-80, C-90, T-95, P-110, Q- 125, each level has a different heat process. In API 5CT, the raw materials were divided into four groups.
What is casing tensile strength?
The tensile load of the pipe is the weight of the casing which acts to pull the pipe apart. The tension is always the greatest at the surface and decreases with depth due to the casing weight below the point of interest.
What are the design criteria for the intermediate casing?
All other design criteria for the intermediate casing are identical to those previously presented. A producing well has an initial shut-inBHP equal to the formation pore pressure. A gaseous produced fluid in the well. The Production Casing must be designed so that it will not fail if the tubing fails.
What should be checked during the casing design process?
Once the casing design is completed, maximum axial stress anticipated during cementing, casing landing, and subsequent drilling operations should also be checked to ensure that the design load is never exceeded.
What are the requirements for production casing design?
There are three major requirements to be considered in designing production casing: 1) Ensure the well’s mechanical integrity 2) Optimize well costs 3) Provide operations personnel with the maximum allowable loads Many factors enter into the production casing design.
How to design a casing string?
To design a casing string, one must have knowledge of: To arrive at the optimal solution, the design engineer must consider casing as a part of a whole drilling system. A brief description of the elements involved in the design process is presented next.
