A new API recommended practice (RP) intends to provide a guide for managing annular casing pressure in offshore wells. An August workshop in Houston reviewed the draft proposal and solicited input ...

The casing lines the wellbore, keeping it insulated while protecting the soil and groundwater around it from being contaminated by mud, fracking fluids, and more. It is built to resist high loads and ...

Significant casing-job planning and modeling, with a dynamic-surge model, enabled BP PLC successfully to run and cement the 135/8-in. intermediate casing, in the subsea development well Marlin SS-1, ...

Once a well has been drilled, if it is to become a production well, the well must undergo completion. While drilling a well cuts through the rock formations and allows drilling engineers to reach the ...

In oil and gas extraction, few components are more critical - or more closely monitored - than Casing and Tubing. Image Credit: AMETEK - Crystal Engineering The casing lines the wellbore, keeping it ...

Well casing is the set of concentric steel strings run and cemented in a borehole to provide structural support, isolate formations, and create a pressure-tight conduit for drilling and production. It ...
