Casing Design
Depth
6,000 psi *1.1
PB 6,600 psi Pressure
The whole casing string must be capable of
withstanding this internal pressure without failing in
burst.

Casing Design - Solution
Collapse Requirements
For collapse design, we start at the bottom of
the string and work our way up.

Casing Design
Depth
To what depth might we
be able to run N-80, 47
#/ft? The maximum Pressure
annular pressure that this
pipe may be exposed to,
is:
Collapse pressure of pipe 4,760
Pc 4,231 psi
design factor 1.125
15
Casing Design
First Iteration
At what depth do we see this pressure (4,231
psig) in a column of 12.5 #/gal mud?
Pc 0.052 *12.5 * h1
Pc 4,231
h1 6,509 ft
0.052 *12.5 0.052 *12.5
16
Casing Design
This is the depth to which the pipe
could be run if there were 6,509’
no axial stress in the pipe… 8,000’

Casing Design
Interpolation between these values shows
that the collapse resistance at 5,877 psi
axial stress is:
S S1
Pc1 P1 P1 P2
S 2 S1
(5,877 5,000)
Pc1 4,680 * (4,680 4,600) 4,666 psi
(10,000 5,000)
4,666
With the design factor, Pcc1 4,148 psi
1.125

Casing Design
Second Iteration
Now consider running the 47 #/ft
pipe to the new depth of 6,382 ft.
86,563 lbf
S2 2
6,378 psi
13.572 in

Casing Design
Interpolating again,
1 S S1
Pc1 P1 P1 P2
D.F. S 2 S1
1 6,378 5000
pcc 2 4,680 * 4,680 4,600 4,140 psi
1.125 5000
1 6,429 5,000
thus Pcc 3 4,680 * (4,680 4,600)
1.125 5,000
27
Casing Design
NO!

N-80 Burst?
43.5 #/ft?
Depth = 5,057?
5,066?
5,210?
N-80
47.0 #/ft
Depth = 6,369

N-80
53.5 #/ft? Tension?
N-80
47.0 #/ft
Depth = 6,369
6,369
N-80 6,382
53.5 #/ft 6,509
8,000

Tension Check
47.0 # / ft is OK to surface

Casing Design Review
3. Determine corresponding collapse resistance
4. Determine depth where this pressure exists
5. Compare with previous depth estimate
6. Repeat steps 2-6 using the new depth
estimate
