An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Advanced Casing Design
Course Overview
This GLOMACS Oil & Gas Technology training course on Advanced Casing Design covers the relevant subjects required to understand the structural mechanics of down hole tubular. Material aspects, connection selection, performance properties, load cases, design factors, and buckling are just a few of the many topics that are covered.
This training course is designed to concentrate on the fundamentals, takes delegates through the key drivers behind casing design for exploration, appraisal and development wells and their associated risks, challenges and solutions. This introduces manufacture techniques, specifications, loading, design, and problems of casing strings. This helps attendants to understand casing techniques and the know how of the casing strings.
This Oil & Gas Technology training course on Advanced Casing Design also provides explanations and examples of all the aspects of oilfield tubular design. Both uniform and non-uniform loading is covered. Combination loading considerations are envisioned and design procedures are outlined and practiced. Design of tubulars for use in a corrosive environment is new addition.
Participants will be able to design casings for any well: onshore, offshore, high pressure and high temperature wells, horizontal and multilateral wells.
This training course will feature:
- Understand the main functions, characteristics and different type of casing
- Understand the geometric characteristics and properties of casing, and how these can affect performance
- Appreciate the requirements for casing seat selection with regard to subsurface information
