Casing Design Manual

This publication is a reference and training manual for drilling personnel with different levels of experience. The objectives of the manual are to establish a consistent design methodology throughout Schlumberger and identify the loadings that should, as a minimum, be considered in casing design. Where government regulations and/or local considerations require casing design to be carried out to a standard exceeding that in this manual, those regulations must be complied with. The fundamental design methodology adopted in this manual is the service-life model analysis approach combined with maximum load design method. The manual is also crossreferenced with the Schlumberger casing design software TDAS. Performance properties for the various casing and tubing sizes are provided in the separate PDF file called TABLES. How to view the manual The manual is specifically designed for on-screen use. The Structure page shows the overall arrangement of information into sections. Click on the section heading to view the contents of that section, then click on the subject to go to the information. Pages can also be scrolled through as normal. To return to the section contents, click on the italic section heading at the top of the page.
