Слайд 4 Statement of Standard


All casing and tubing's shall

be designed to withstand all loads that can be imposed on them during installation and the lifetime of the well.

No well construction program shall be commenced without an approved casing and tubing design.

H2S & CO2
Exposure to more 0.05 psi of H2S pressure and CO2 corrosion can lead to failure,
Common practice is the use chromium alloy (casing type L80 or Stainless steel)

Drilled and cemented






Слайд 8 Types of Casing Strings


Surface Casing
Purpose
Protect Fresh

water aquifers.
Provide wellbore integrity,
- Provides a BOP seal
- Allows drilling into abnormal pressure safely
Definition: Casing set at or above 6500’ or in sub-normal pressure.
Setting depth is based on mechanical and regulatory considerations



Слайд 9 Types of Casing Strings


Intermediate Casing
Purpose
Provide mechanical

integrity.
- Case off problem zones.
- Provide higher fracture gradient as shoe for drilling operations and provide contingencies such as well control.
Definition: Casing set to 6500’ or deeper in abnormal pressure.
Setting depth is based on mechanical considerations



Слайд 10 Types of Casing Strings


Drilling Liners
Purpose
Provide mechanical

integrity as intermediate casing but at lower cost.
Definition: Partial string of casing hung in previously set casing string and is set to a depth greater than 6500’ or in abnormal pressure.
Setting Depth is based on mechanical considerations



Слайд 11 Types of Casing Strings


Production Casing/Liners
Purpose
Provide isolation

of the producing zone from other zones.
Withstand the anticipated loads during production and testing operations for the wells life time.

Setting Depth is the last string across the production zone. This may be a casing to surface or a liner that is hung.



Слайд 12 AJF
Casing Point Selection
Why Casing is Run in the Hole?

Casing is set for two Drilling reasons;

To consolidate the hole already drilled, (steel filter cake)

To provide the pressure control integrity to drill ahead.


Слайд 13 Casing Point Selection Criteria


Mechanical Considerations

Ability of the weakest exposed formation

beneath the casing to withstand the load imposed by well control operation.
Likelihood of differential sticking occurring while running casing.



Слайд 14 AJF
Criteria For Selecting Casing Depths


Слайд 15 AJF
Other Restrictions On Casing Shoe Depth
Within the limit allowed by kick

tolerance, we may restrict the length of OH sections, to minimize deterioration of wellbore with time


Formations may affect casing depth (reactive shale)

Directional Problems may alter casing points (drag, torque)


Слайд 16 Casing Point Selection Criteria


Other factors affecting casing setting depth.
Underground

fresh water zones
Shallow hazards
Directional profile
S/T requirement
Aquifers to case off
ECD at shoe



Слайд 17 AJF
Special Criteria for Conductor
The Conductor pipe needs to be set deep

enough to carry subsequent axial loads from all other casing strings. It also must withstand the bending loads from environmental conditions.

Слайд 18 AJF
Special Criteria for Surface Casing
The Surface Casing is usually set in

the

first competent formation which is strong

enough to close in on a kick.


Слайд 19 AJF
Special Criteria for Intermediate Casing


Слайд 20 AJF
Intermediate Casing - other considerations

Reduce torques and drags in an

extended reach hole.

Case off possible differential sticking zones and perform directional work below casing.

Case off some problem zones prior to drilling ahead.







Intermediate casing may also be set for directional
or wellbore stability reasons


Слайд 21 AJF
Special Criteria for Production Casing
The Production Casing is set through or
just

above the reservoir, depending on the

type of completion to be used.


Слайд 22 Casing Point Selection Criteria


Information gathered prior to casing design.

Estimated pore

pressure and rock strength using offset data.
The minimum and maximum casing sizes to be run at TD that would allow for logging testing and a completion program.
The effects of geological uncertainties on casing setting depths and the ability to safely circulate out the maximum anticipated kick volume



Слайд 23 Casing Point Selection Criteria


After gathering Information

Develop a pore pressure and

fracture gradient versus depth plot.
Plan the well from TD up.
Determine the maximum formation pressure at TD.
Add a Trip margin and determine minimum weight at TD.



Слайд 24 Casing Point Selection Criteria



Слайд 25 Bottom Up Method


Plot the pore

pressure gradient curve
Plot the Mud weight curve. The mud weight should balance the highest PP in the OH with a TM of 0.5 ppg.
Plot the estimated actual FG curve, and the designed FG curve, which is FG less allowance for Well control, surge or ECD.
Start on the bottom on the mud weight curve and draw a vertical line up to the designed FG curve. This is the initial estimated production casing or liner.

Слайд 26 AJF
Kick Tolerance


.


Kick tolerance is a measure of the size

of a gas kick that can be handled.

The following assumption are made…
A gas influx from TD at the casing point or at TD.
The kicking formation has a pore pressure equal to or greater than the mud hydrostatic.
Shut in casing pressure = MAASP when the top of gas is at the casing shoe, using the drillers method.
Based on these assumptions, we calculate the volume of a gas kick. This is the maximum size of gas influx, which is what we call KICK TOLERANCE


Слайд 27 AJF
Kick Tolerance
More assumptions
For an Exploration or Appraisal well, we can assume

that the kicking formation may have a pore pressure gradient of 10% higher than the mud gradient.
In this case a planned mud gradient of 0.5 psi/ft will assume a pore pressure gradient at the kick depth of 0.55 psi/ft.
For a development well in a known area, assume that the kicking formation may have a pore pressure which is equal to the mud gradient.
In this case any kick taken will be a swabbed kick.


Слайд 28 AJF
Kick Tolerance
Example:
Casing shoe at 6000’ with a FG of 0.72 psi/ft,

plan to drill to the next casing point at 8500’ with a mud gradient of 0.62 psi/ft in a vertical exploration well. (Kick gradient 10%more than mud gradient.)
Assume a gas gradient of 0.12 psi/ft at the casing shoe, and 12 ¼” hole with 5” DP and 300’ of 8” drill collars.



Слайд 29 AJF
Kick Tolerance
Example2:
Casing shoe at 5000’ with a FG of 0.65 psi/ft,

plan to drill to the next casing point at 7500’ with a mud gradient of 0.55 psi/ft in a vertical exploration well. (Kick gradient 10%more than mud gradient.)
Assume a gas gradient of 0.12 psi/ft at the casing shoe, and 12 ¼” hole with 5” DP and 300’ of 8” drill collars.



Слайд 30 Maximum Load casing Design


This is

a method for selecting specific casing based on operational conditions and resulting stresses.
Concept: Design for most severe realistic load to minimize risk of failure.
Maximum load cases are based on geographical region, geologic section and organizational philosophy.


Слайд 31 Maximum Load casing Design


Design Cases:
Burst
Collapse
Tension

Special

considerations:
H2S/CO2, Temperature, Multi-axial stress correction, Stability.

Maximum pressure at casing shoe,dependent on FG. (Internal Pressure)


The maximum internal burst loading pressure at surface is a function of the injection pressure, and is given as:

Load Line

External pressure due to annular drilling fluid….0.465psi/ft




Worst case scenario is gas filled above FG+SF

Слайд 36 Casing Collapse Design





Load

Line



Worst case scenario is full evacuation with Mud on the outside


Maximum collapse pressure at shoe, (external pressure)

The casing is empty and open to atmospheric pressure. This will render the surface pressure to be 0 psi

Design Line

From the casing Tables check casing collapse rating


Слайд 37 Casing Tension Design







Worst

case scenario is stuck casing with an over pull 100,000 lbs applied


As per SLB casing manual, TVD should be used for gravity related
Tensile load calculation. If Biaxial stress calculations are not being
Made then a safety factor of 1.6 shall be used.

Load Line


Design Line

From the casing Tables check casing tensile rating

Tensile load will change if pumps are on while pulling on casing.
