Types of Casing
Types of Casing
Conductor Isolation, shallow gas protection, structural support.
Surface Isolation of ground water, pressure control, build section coverage.
Intermediate Borehole stability, isolation of low pressure or producing zones.
Production Isolate producing zone, tubing leak protection, injection, gas lift.
Liners Local isolation and protection.
Tiebacks Convert liners to full strings to the wellhead.

Not all strings see loads during entire service life Not all strings see loads during entire service life- -

Production strings are primary pressure vessels Production strings are primary pressure vessels

Principal Load Types
Principal Load Types
Load Type Cause
Axial tension
/ compression
Running, changes in temperature, slack off or pickup after cementing.
Pressure Burst or collapse due to kick, pressure test, shut in, cementing, injection,
circulation, evacuation, etc.
Bending Axial load due to buckling or doglegs.
Torsion and
shear
Normally not considered in casing design unless the liner will be rotated
while cementing, for example.

Loads always occur in combination!
