Course Description

This course provides explanations and examples of all the aspects of oilfield tubular design.  It covers relevant subjects required to understand the structural mechanics of downhole tubular. Material aspects, connection selection, performance properties, load cases, design factors and buckling are just a few of the many topics covered. The training is designed to take participants through the key drivers behind casing design for exploration, appraisal and well developments and their associated risks, challenges and solutions.
 

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and ability necessary to design casings for any well: onshore, offshore, high pressure and high temperature wells, horizontal and multilateral wells. 
 

Course Objectives

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

• Understand the basis for the published API tubular strengths.
• Design drive pipe to sustain a compressive load.
• Design conductor, intermediate, drilling liners, and production casing strings for burst, collapse and tension.
• Select couplings.
• Take into account biaxial and triaxial loading.
• Design for bending, point loading, ballooning, and buckling.
• Understand how temperature reduces yields strength.  
• Understand recommended sequence for combination considerations.
• Learn a complete integrated procedure for designing oilfield tubulars.
