COURSE OVERVIEW:

Casing and tubing design is fundamental to safe drilling, well integrity, and long-term production performance. This course provides participants with an in-depth understanding of how to design casing strings and tubing systems that withstand downhole loads, pressures, temperatures, corrosion environments, and operational requirements throughout the well’s life cycle.

Participants will gain practical skills in load-case evaluation, burst/collapse/tension calculations, material selection, connection design, safety factors, wellhead limitations, and tubing movement modelling. The course covers drilling, completion, and production considerations, including cementing interfaces, packer selection, sand-control options, multi-zone completions, and well operations that influence tubular integrity. Real-world examples highlight design challenges in HPHT wells, deviated and horizontal wells, sour-service environments, and deep wells.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

• Understand the role of casing and tubing in well integrity and life-cycle operations.
• Identify different casing types and their functional requirements.
• Apply burst, collapse, and tension design principles using industry-accepted methodologies.
• Evaluate external loads such as cementing pressures, leak-off pressures, and formation stresses.
• Select appropriate casing grades, materials, and connections for various well environments.
• Understand design safety factors and their application in different load cases.
• Perform tubing design considering axial loads, pressure/temperature effects, and buckling.
• Analyze tubing movement due to temperature, ballooning, and piston effects.
• Integrate packers, subsurface safety valves, and completion equipment into tubing design.
• Address corrosion, erosional, and sour-service challenges in tubulars.
• Recognise wellhead, hanger, and load-path limitations.
• Evaluate design considerations for deviated, horizontal, and multilateral wells.
• Use nodal analysis concepts to support tubing performance predictions.
• Prepare, review, and validate casing and tubing design reports for field operations.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Drilling Engineers
• Completion and Well Intervention Engineers
• Well Integrity and Production Engineers
• Field Development and Operations Personnel
• Wellsite Supervisors and Engineering Trainees
• Asset and Subsurface Teams involved in well planning
• Professionals seeking a foundational to intermediate understanding of tubular design

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
