Objectives
This course offers a practical approach to casing design methods and buckling analysis. It is based on numerous wells drilled successfully in various locations around the world, including the UK, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Tunisia, Egypt, Abu Dhabi, Russia, Indonesia, and Yemen.
The course will cover conventional, horizontal, and high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) wells. Participants will gain the ability to design casings for any well type, including onshore, offshore, HPHT wells, horizontal wells, and multilateral wells.
