Tubular Material Selection for HTHP Well with Example Calculation

By DrillingFormulas.Com | July 9, 2016 - 8:30 am |Casing Design, Completion 2 Comments

This article demonstrates how to select material that will be suitable for high pressure, high pressure and
corrosive environment. The material chart is based on the Sumitomo tubular chart.

Well conditions are as follows;

Reservoir: High pressure & high temperature gas reservoir

Reservoir Temperature: 420 F (216 C)

CO2 content: 2.9% mol

H2S:40 ppm

Chloride Ion Content in Produced Water: 150,000 ppm

Fluid saturation pressure: 10,000 psig Continue reading →

Tubing Length Change due to Buckling

By DrillingFormulas.Com | July 9, 2016 - 7:49 am |Casing Design, Completion Leave a comment

When tubing is freely suspended, it can be buckled by an upward force applied at the bottom of tubing. A section of tubing exposed to compression force
will have a chance of being buckled. However, a part which is under tension will not face a buckle issue.

The neutral point is the boundary below which buckling can possibly be occurred and above which buckling will
not happen.

Tubing Length Change due to Thermal Load

By DrillingFormulas.Com | July 9, 2016 - 7:22 am |Casing Design, Completion 5 Comments

Difference in temperature causes steel to contract or expand. If tubing is free to move, length of the tubing will
be either longer or shorter due to thermal expansion. On the other hand, if the tubing is not free to move, there
will be a change in axial force due to the temperature effect.

Figure 1 illustrates an increase in length due to heat and Figure 2 demonstrates a decrease in length because of
cooling.

Tubing Length Change due to Ballooning

By DrillingFormulas.Com | July 3, 2016 - 4:51 am |Casing Design, Completion Leave a comment

Ballooning is a change in average pressure which causes a radial contraction or swelling. If the tubing is free to
move, the length of tubing will be either longer or shorter. If tubing cannot be moved, stress will be created in the
tubing body.

Figure 1 illustrates ballooning of tubing. This will happen when internal pressure is higher than external
pressure. Tubing will shorten if the tubing is free to move. If the tubing cannot be moved, ballooning will create a
tension force on the packer.

Tubing Length Change due to Piston Effect

By DrillingFormulas.Com | July 2, 2016 - 5:13 am |Casing Design, Completion Leave a comment

This article demonstrates a piston effect and how it will change the length of tubing with full detailed calculations.

For the analysis, Lubinski’s sign conventions are used.

Compression force = ⇑(+)

Tensile force = ⇓ (-)

Shorten in Length = (-)

Elongate in length = (+)

Note: The tubing is free to move.

Please see this in the reference section to get a full paper.
