PetroTeach offers the course in advanced casing design. This 5-day training course/workshop will focus on provide participants with a competency in casing design. The course addresses the engineering aspects of casing design based on first principles.
A full casing design project from an actual well is used during the course. Participants are taken step by step through the entire API casing design calculations. Load cases, couplings, thermal loading, material selection, and well control aspects of casing design. A large part of the course involves hand on exercises and Participants should have a calculator and a laptop computer with a spreadsheet program during the course. The course finishes with the operational aspects of running and cementing casing and introduces drilling with casing operations.

Steve Nas holds master degree in drilling engineering from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and has accumulated over 40 years of drilling engineering experience. Steve started in 1977 as a mud logger with Geoservices before becoming a wellsite drilling engineer in 1980. Initially working rigs as a wellsite drilling engineer around the Middle East and throughout Africa before working for Shell in the UK North Sea. In the mid 1990’s became heavily involved in coiled tubing and underbalanced drilling and later into managed pressure drilling. He has been teaching well engineering since obtaining his master’s degree in the late 1990’s and has taught numerous courses at all levels including MSc students and developed a large number of training courses. Now working as an independent consultant he provides a number of well engineering related courses and offshore coaching on challenging wells.
The course is designed for petroleum engineers with basic knowledge and experience in drilling
engineering. The objective is to establish a foundation for drilling engineers to be able to participate in the well planning and well operation process and design.
The participants will learn and understand:
o Casing strengths such as axial strength yield, burst and collapse
o All of the load cases and associated design factors
o Setting triaxial limits for casing and understanding combined loads
o Material selection with regards to sour gasses and partial pressures
o Thermal loading, annular pressure buildup and corrosion effects
o Buckling and wear
o Conductor casing design for land, surface BOP’s and subsea BOP’s
o Casing running operations, centralizer requirements
