STRESS
Burst:
Burst Assume full reservoir pressure all along the wellbore.
Collapse: Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth
Tension: Tensile stress due to weight of string is highest at top
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.
