Who Should Attend?

Drilling/Well Engineers, Well Planners.
 

Aims

• Understand the casing design process and setting depth selection.
• Understand the various external and internal load case definitions.
• Understand the different completion systems and the effect of pressure and temperature on packer forces.
• Understand the principles of the various models used in the derivation of the annular buildup equations.
• Be acquainted with the industry standard casing design software (Wellplan).

Topics

This 5 day course is an extension of the advanced casing design course, linking the casing string design concepts to completion design. This includes tubing stress analysis and packer forces and annular pressure buildup analysis. Arthur Lubinski’s classic SPE paper “Helical Buckling of Tubing Sealed In Packers” and D. J. Hammerlindl’s “Movement, Forces, and Stresses Associated with Combination Tubing Strings Sealed in Packers” are covered in the lectures as case studies.
