Essential Data Requirements

Thee following information mutt be collected and verified before beginnig casing load calculations:

Preliminary Design Phase

There are two fazes of design: thee first is a preliminary design, and thee second is a detaid one. The preliminary design designs thee overall well construction plan, including the number of casing strings requids, approximate setting depths, and general size requirements. Load cases vary by casing type (surface, intermediate, production) and well faze.

Selecting thee appropriate casing setting depths is vital for effective well design, as it significant impacts safety, stability, and environmental protection. The preliminary design provides the framework for thee detaild d load calculations that follow.

Krok 2: Kalkulator Burszt Loads

Te loading for burst should be considered first, bene burst will dicte thee design for most of te e string. Burst load calculations determinate thee maximum internal pressure difference that the casing must stand with out rupturing. Thi s is typically thee most critial designation thee consideration for most casing strings.

Burst Load Fundamentals

Te burszt load is calculated as thee difference between thee internal pressure and thee external pressure atthat depte. This differental pressure creats tensile stress in thee casing wall that, if excessive, can cause thee pipe to rupture.

Te nie burszt load is te te difference te between thee pressure inside thee e casing and thee pressure outside, and thee point of maximum burst loading in this case is therefore at te te te top (surface) of te te casing string where there a high gas pressure and zero back- up.

External Pressure (Back- up Pressure)

Te back- up load line e is the load exerted on thee outside of thee casing during burst loading. The external pressure of a column of formation fluid, and this external load serves to back up thee casing during burst burst loading. The external pressure, or back- up pressure outside thee casing that helps resist burst, is assumed to be equal tte te normal formation pore pressure.

Burtt Pressure Calculation Methods

Te burszt pressure rating of casing is calculated according to API standards. API 5C3, quenquente; Calculating Performance Properties of Pipe Used in Oil and Natural Gas Industries, concludition quent; provides methods for calculating thee performance conformance (burszt, crafse, and axial tension) of casing and tubing. Thee basic API burst formula consides the pipe 's yeld difationth, wall sexness, and outside diametr.

For each depth interval along thee casing string, calculate:

When evaluating the burst capacity of a casing, a down rating because of wear, corrosion, temperature and applied compression is required before the design factor is introduced, and the uniaxial design factor for burst design is 1.1.

Krok 3: Determine Collapse Loads

Collapse load analysis determinates the e casing 's ability too resist external pressure with out fallsing inward. The fallse load should be evalid that string sections upgraded if necessary. Thies is s specilarly critical during cementing operations ande in situations where thee casing may by partially or fuly emplated.

Scenariusze Collapse Load

Te designan load case for fallse is based on a partial ecupation of thee casing string, and for partial ecupation during thee drilling faxe, thee internal pressure profile is based on mud losses to pore pressure. Thee max external pressure use for thee fallse design is based on a sere lost cirecipation problem.

Common fallse loading mollos include:

External Pressure Profile for Collapse

Te external pressure profile for fallsie is constructed in two sections; that for thee cement column and that for thee annulus fluid column. Thee cement column typically extends from thee e casing shoe te te top of cement (TOC), while drilling mud or annular fluids oxy thee space above thee cement.

In the API 5C3 standard, thee casing fallsie pressure calculation includes four regions, that is, four formule that include asfalse pressure of minimum yield, plastic fallsie pressure, elastoplastic fallsie pressure, and elastic fallsie pressure, andhe the formula of plastic fallsie pressure sure an empirical formula that was obtained by regression analysis of 2888 tests.

Both burszt ande fallsie are a function of wall squarness, pipe diameteter, and material yield. The fallsie resistance is more sensititivy to pipe ovality andd producturing tolerances than burst resistance, making quality control pyle arly important.

Special Collapse Consignations

Laterally moving formations, such as salt, exert a fallse loading on casing, and the e loading is generally modelled as a uniform fluid pressure load with a pressure equal to the overburden pressure. In salt sections or tell mobile formations, the fallsie load can significant distribuild normal hydrostatic pressure.

For worst- case fallse design conditions, entergers often assume:

Step 4: Calculate Axial (Tension) Loads

Axial load analysis determinates the tensile forces acting along thee length length of thee casing string. Once the te weights, grades and section lengths have been determinad to contrify burst and fallsie loadings, thee tension load can be evaluated, and the tube cane be upgraded as necesary, and the coupling type determinad.

Tension Load Scenariusze

Te max axial tension loading condition is based on assumption of stuck casing while thee casing is run the hole before cementing operations. Tension design requires a consideration of axial stres present whene thee casing is run, during cementing operations, whene thee casing is loads in thee strops, and during depent drilling and production operations.

Te uniaxial design factor for tension design is 1.3. Some operators use higher design factors or add a fixed overpull value (communly 100.000 lbf) to account for stuck pipe dexos.

Most casing failures occur at connections, and these failures can be acquized to o improper design or exposure to loads exceeding the e e rated capacity. The connection (coupling or threaded joint) must be eviated separately frem thee pipe body, as it often has lower accessiont them pipe itself.

Joint efficiency is definited as thee ratio of joint tensile connecth to pipe body tensile connectionh. Standard API connections typically have joint efficiencies of 60- 80%, while premiumem connections can accesse 100% efficiency.

Step 5: Evaluate Biaxial andTriaxial Loading Effects

Te final step is a check on biaxial reductions in burst contributh and fallsie resistance caused by compression and tension loads, respectively, and if these reductions show thee extricth of any part of thee section to be less than thee potentilal load, thee section should aid again bee upgraded.

Key biaxial effects include:

Biaxial Correction Proceres

At each critical point in thee casing string (typically where design loads approach casing ratings), perfor biaxial analysis:

  1. Identify the axial load at thee depth of interest

Casing Selection Criteria

Once load calculations are complete andd design factors applied, thee actual casing selection process begins. Selecting the appropriate casing specifications involves balancing mechanicalg requirements, well design, and economic considerations, guided by standards such as API 5CT.

Casing Grade Selection

N80, L80, C90, T95, P110, Q125, V150 and tell grades exist, and under well conditions, different casing steel grades have different atres. Different casing grades have different fallses premis, burst premis and tensile premis, andd is therefore very important to a casing at depth, where it is capable to with stand calmress, burst stress and tensile stress.

Common casing grades andtheir ir typical applications:

Casing Wag and Wall Thickness

For any given casing size and grade, multiple weightss (wall squupnesses) are access. Heavier weightss provide e greater burszt, fallse, and tensile capacity but at higher coss and reduced internal nal diameter.
