Casing Design
Choosing the correct size, type, and amount of casing that is used in well
construction is of utmost importance to the success of the well. The casing must
be of sufficient size and strength to allow the target formations to be reached andproduced.Casing has become one of the most expensive parts of a drilling program; theaverage cost of tubulars is about 18% of the average cost of a completed well.Thus, an important responsibility of the drilling engineer is to design the leastexpensive casing program that will allow the well to be drilled and operated safelythroughout its life
