COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of tubing design and selection. It covers the preliminary casing and tubing design including design approaches like deterministic (WSD) and probabilistic; the basis of design, initial conditions, installation loads, drilling loads and production/injection loads for casing strings and tubing; the design factors, tubular strength, buckling and temperature considerations; and the design optimization techniques, material selection, metallurgy fundamentals, corrosion mechanisms and sour service grade selection. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the tubing design, casing and tubing design criteria and completion equipment selection; the types, applications, limitations, testing and qualification of connections; the well architecture, well integrity, basis of design, initial conditions and worst-case discharge loads; and the installation loads, drilling load, production/injection loads, drilling and production thermal loads. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the temperature considerations, load cases, pipe strength, material selection, movement, buckling and APB; the fracture failure (brittle burst analysis), quality assurance and quality control; the connection assessment levels (CAL), testing and qualification and the use of qualifies envelopes in casing and tubing design; and the casing wear proposed workflow, wear prediction workflow, wear factors and key factors impacting casing wear; the survival design considerations, WCD, WCD loads multi-string analysis, special problems and expandable tubular; and the steam cycling issues like plastic strain, bauschinger effect, low cycle fatigue and subsidence/compaction.
