• Understand the role of casing and tubing in well integrity and production.
• Identify different casing and tubing types and their applications in drilling and completion.
• Learn about API and ISO standards for casing and tubing (API 5CT, ISO 11960).

2. Casing Design and Selection

• Learn how to select casing grades, sizes, and weights based on well conditions.
• Understand burst, collapse, and tension loads in casing design.
• Apply casing string design principles for vertical, deviated, and horizontal wells.

3. Casing Running and Cementing Operations

• Learn best practices for casing running procedures.
• Understand centralization, casing float equipment, and cementing accessories.
• Implement cementing operations for zonal isolation and well integrity.

4. Tubing Design and Production Considerations

• Learn about tubing functions, sizes, and metallurgy.
• Understand tubing stress analysis and load calculations.
• Optimize tubing design for artificial lift, gas lift, and high-pressure applications.

5. Casing and Tubing Connections and Inspection

• Learn about API and premium connections (threaded and coupled, flush-joint).
• Implement inspection techniques for casing and tubing integrity.
• Understand drift testing, thread inspections, and hydrostatic testing.

6. Well Integrity and Failure Prevention

• Identify common casing and tubing failures (corrosion, wear, fatigue).
• Learn about coatings, corrosion-resistant alloys (CRA), and protective barriers.
• Apply real-time monitoring techniques for casing and tubing integrity.

7. Advanced Technologies in Casing and Tubing
