Advanced Casing Design

Objectives

This course offers a practical approach to casing design methods and buckling analysis. The course is based on numerous wells drilled successfully in many parts of the world including the UK, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bulgaria, Tunisia, Egypt, Abu Dhabi, Russia, Indonesia, and Yemen. The course will cover conventional, horizontal and high pressure/ high temperature wells.

Participants will be able to design casings for any well: onshore, offshore, high pressure and high temperature wells, horizontal and multilateral wells.
