Question
a A Production Oil Company plans to run a 22,300-ft string of 47 Ib/ft, P-110 grade, 7.625-
in. production casing. The maximum expected burst pressure is 14,000 psi. A 17 Ib/gal
mud will be used in the well. The tension safety factor is 1.8. Use the following tables to
select the appropriate couplings for this casing string and justify your answer.

b Discuss the qualitative changes of burst and collapse resistances when the casing
string is become under tension or compression load.
c Explain how casing design problems depend heavily on stress analysis techniques, rock
mechanics and drilling and production conditions.

Collapse = 0.85,
Tension = 1.8
i Design suitable casing string for 20 inch casing
L
Design suitable casing string for 9 5/8 inch casing., taking into consideration
the available casing grades (shown in the above table) and maximum
expected pressures.
