    Factors Affecting Casing Design

    Uploaded by

    Tharaka Darshana
    The document discusses factors that affect casing design for oil and gas wells, including collapse, burst, and tension. It compares how these factors relate to each other and how casing design specifications change with increasing well depth. The document also covers American Petroleum Institute (API) minimum safety factor requirements for casing design.

    Factors Affecting Casing Design

    "I do not think there should be a limit on the rig's liability, because they are sitting on top of unlimited amounts of oil, and thus, there could be an explosion occur that could do untold damage. ... The amount of damage that an offshore oil rig can do is infinite." - John Chafee,1989

    For Collapse design, assume that the casing is empty on the inside (p = 0 psi) For Burst design, assume no backup fluid on the outside of the casing (p = 0 psi) For Tension design, assume no buoyancy effect For Collapse design, assume no buoyancy effect
