Casing and Tubular Design
Casing and tubular design involves the planning and specification of the protective barriers and structural components used in oil and gas wells. It is crucial to the drilling industry as it ensures the integrity of the wellbore, preventing issues such as collapse, leakage, and structural failure, thereby safeguarding personnel, equipment, and the environment.
Course Objective
In this course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of casing and tubular design principles, including types, functions, and design methodologies. They will learn to apply load analysis techniques, evaluate connection performance, and address special considerations such as temperature effects and corrosion, ultimately enabling them to design robust and reliable well structures for various drilling scenarios.
