Casing Design 1.ppt
1. Casing and Casing Design
: Introduction
Casing seat selection determines the total no.
Of casings required in a well
Casing seat selection also determines the
depth of each casing.
Bore-hole geometry determines the hole size
and their corresponding diameters of casings
2. Casing and Casing Design
: Objective
Depth and diameter of a casing is known from
previous exercises
The selected casing must withstand various
loads which might impose on casings during
operations/ entire life
The designed casing must be as economical
as possible
Casing design determines the grade(s),
nominal weight(s), and types of thread required
for a particular well considering safety & cost-
effectiveness
3. Casing and Casing Design
: Influencing Factors
Loading conditions during drilling and
production
Formation strength
Thermal effects
Corrosive environment
Hole irregularities

4. Casing And Casing Design

Location of lost circulation and permeable
zones
Location of salt zone
Type of well (vertical/ directional/ horizontal)
Temperature profile
Presence of H2S, CO2 & Nacl
5. Minimum hole size required
Type of completion
Sp. Gravity of packer fluid
Worst case loads that may occur during
completion/production/ work over
operations

9. Casing And Casing Design
: Loading Condition-tension
Most axial tension arises from weight of
casing itself.
Other tension loadings can arise due to
bending, drag, shock loading and during
pressure testing.
Increase in temperature and pressure
can impose tension loadings in casing
10. Casing and casing design
casing design: safety factors
Because of uncertainties in determining actual
loadings and as well as casing properties a
factor is used to allow for such uncertainties and
to ensure that casing properties always remain
greater than loadings.
This factor is called ‘design factor’ or ‘safety
factor’
Safety factor is defined as the ratio of rating of
casing and resultant loadings
11. Casing And Casing Design
: Safety factors (Contd.)
For example, safety factor in burst
=
Burst resistance of casing
Resultant burst loading
12. Casing And Casing Design
: Safety Factors(contd.)
Oil industry has no uniform policy on safety
factors of casing design
Safety factors are normally decided by the
individual company in accordance of their
company policy.
Following safety factors are used in ongc
(I) BURST – 1.1 to 1.125
(Ii) COLLAPSE – 0.85 (cemented portion)
-1.125 (uncemented portion)
(Iii) TENSION – 1.8 (without buoancy)
- 1.6 ( with buoyancy)
13. Casing and casing design
: Design approaches
In oil industry, various approaches to design
casing are followed.
However, two most widely used approaches
are ;
(i) Conventional
(Ii) Maximum load concept
Approaches are different from one another
due to different assumptions in loads and
back ups

27. Casing And Casing Design
: Determination
Tension load is primarily due to the casing’s
own weight
Tension load increases during pressure
testing of casing.
Tension load also increases due to increase in
temperature
Increase of sp. Gravity of mud both outside
and inside of casing increases tension in
casing.
28. Casing And Casing Design
: Computation
Tension load = weight of casing in air/ unit
length x depth
= Kg/ m x depth in metre (kgs)
= PPF(Lbs /ft) X Depth (metre) x1.489 (Kgs)
29. Casing And Casing Design
: Computation
Other axial loads – shock load
Shock loading is often expressed as
F shock = 3200 wn lbs where, wn = ppf
= 1450 wn kgs where, wn = kg/m
Considering average running speed of
185 ft/min or 56 metre/min
30. Casing And Casing Design
: Computation
Other axial loads – bending force
Bending force fb = 63 dwn lbf
Where, D = OD in inch
Wn = nominal weight, ppf
= rate of angle change/ 100ft.
31. Casing And Casing Design
: Computation
Other axial loads – temperature
CHANGE IN AXIAL FORCE DUE TO
TEMPERATURE CHANGE = - E t
Where, E = young’ modulus of steel
= 30 X 106 psi for steel
= Thermal coefficient of expansion
= 6.9 x 10-6 0F-1
T = average change in temperature( 0F)
32. Casing And Casing Design
: Computation
Normally, shock load & bending loads are not
considered unless specific conditions are
expected in well.
Also, in general, temperature will typically
have a secondary effect on tubular design
These loads are not generally considered in
casing design
34. Casing And Casing Design
: Bi-axial
All pipe strengths are based on uniaxial stress
state.
Pipe in the well bore, however, is always
subjected to combined loading conditions.
Fundamental basis of casing design is that if
stress in pipe wall exceed yield strength of
material, a failure condition exists
Hence, yield strength is a measure of
maximum allowable stress.
35. Casing And Casing Design
: Bi-axial
Published collapse resistances of casings are
under zero axial load.
Axial tension reduces the yield strength of
material.
In three modes out of four modes of collapse
resistances equations, except elastic collapse,
collapse strength is directly proportional to the
yield strength of material.
It follows that tension decreases both yield
strength and collapse resistance of casing.
36. Casing And Casing Design
: Computation
Graphical representation of hoop stress-axial
stress on % of yield biaxial ellipse is available.
For easy application, a table comprising
factors ‘x’ and ‘y’ is calculated from the above
ellipse and readily available
Reduced collapse resistance of casing under
axial loading can be determined from this
table
37. Casing And Casing Design
: Computation
Determination of reduced collapse resistance
of casing under axial loading using ‘x’&‘y’
factor
X = axial load / pipe body yield strength
Obtain value of ‘y’ from table corresponding to
‘x’
Reduced collapse strength
= published collapse strength x ‘y’
38. Casing And Casing Design
: Comments On Biaxial Stress
Neither approach is rigorous treatment of the
topic
Depending on the type of load, burst & collapse
rating of zero axial stress increases or
decreases
Tensile loads increases burst rating but
decreases collapse rating
Compressive loads increases collapse rating
but decreases burst rating
39. Casing and casing design
: example
Design the casing using conventional
approach with the following input data:
(a) Casing size : 9-5/8”
(b) Casing shoe depth : 3000 m
(c) Next casing shoe depth : 4200 m
(d) Formation pressure at 3000m : 1.32 mwe
(e) Formation pressure at 4200 m : 1.6 mwe
(f) Sp. Gravity of mud during lowering : 1.36
(g) Sp. Gravity of mud in next phase : 1.65
40. Casing And Casing Design
: Example
(h) Fracture pressure at 3000m : 1.8 mwe
(i) Type of well : vertical/ exploratory
(j) Following casing are available:
N-80, 53.5 ppf, BTC– 2000 m
N-80, 47 ppf, BTC – 1500m
N-80, 43.5 ppf,BTC – 2000m

46. CASING AND CASING DESIGN
: Selection Of Casing
Bottoms Up Casing Selection is Preferable. As such
minimum collapse pressure required for casing
= 408 x 1.125 = 459 Kg/ cm2
From Data Table, available casing with this collapse
resistance is N-80, 53.5 #
Next lower grade available casing is N-80, 47 # and
collapse rating of this casing is 334 Kg/ cm2. From
graph or calculation shown below, this casing can be
lowered up to 334 x 10
1.125x1.36
= 2183 2180 M
So, 2180 – 3000 : N-80. 53,5 #
47. Casing And Casing Design
: Biaxial Effects
Depth of N-80, 47# needs correction for Bi-axial effect
Maximum collapse effect is at 2180 M.
P.B.Y.S OF 47# CASING = 492 X 103 Kgs

COLLASE RATING AT ZERO AXIAL STRESS = 334 Kgs/ cm2
COLLAPSE RATING UNDER TENSILE LOAD
= 0.958 x 334 = 320 Kgs / cm2
REVISED COLLAPSE DESIGN FACTOR UNDER TENSILE LOAD
= 320 / 296 = 1.08 NOT SAFE
48. Casing And Casing Design
: Biaxial Effects
FACTOR ‘X’ =
72.44x 103 Kgs
492 x 103 Kgs = 0.147; ‘Y’ VALUE = 0.951
REDUCED COLLAPSE RATING = 0.951 x 334 = 317 Kgs
/ cm2
Casing could be lowered to:
From graph or calculation shown below, this casing can
be lowered up to
320 x 10
1.125x1.36
= 2091 2090 M
317 x 10
1.125x1.36 = 2071 2070 M
Taking L = 2050 M
Net Collapse Pressure at 2050 M = 2050 x 1.36 = 279 Kgs/ cm2
10
Again, length and hence weight has increased. It is
an iterative process. It needs to be done once or
twice.

Reduced collapse rating = 0.950 x 334 = 317 Kgs / cm2
Revised collapse design
factor = 317 / 279 = 1.136 Hence safe
Burst and tensile S.F. are much higher than desired
So, 2050 – 3000 : N-80. 53,5 #
50. Casing And Casing Design

Next depth to which N-80, 47 # could be used for Burst and
Tension need to be checked. Burst rating = 483kg/cm2
Considering S.F.burst 1.1 the resultant burst load to which
the casing can be subjected to 483/ 1.1 = 439kg/cm2
