Course Overview

Wells are the media through which engineers convey hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the surface. Since this transportation largely occurs in regions that are very rarely seen with the physical eyes and as hydrocarbons are highly flammable, careful considerations need to be put in place to ensure that hydrocarbons are brought to the surface in a safely controlled manner.

Casing and tubing are very important aspects of the well architecture. Casings ensure the well integrity is preserved and, sometimes like the tubing, provide a pathway for the flow of fluids through the well. Fluid pressure and the well trajectory make it imperative for engineers to carefully design casings and tubing’s so as to avoid failure and mishaps.

Every parameter is considered in the design process, from the type of material to its length, weight and thickness. Different wells, in different terrains targeting different reservoirs need to be considered individually, hence, the significance of understanding the possibilities available as well as the importance of matching each well with its appropriate casing and tubing design.

This Zoe training course will provide you with all relevant information and knowledge about casing and tubing designs and the practical operations required therein. Through this course, you would acquire the skills and capabilities to work as a drilling engineer, thus broadening avenues for greater opportunities and promoting career growth.

Course Objectives

The key objective of this Advanced Casing and Tubing Design Calculations course is to ensure trainees become professionals who are able to —

  • Thoroughly understand various aspects of well architecture and the variety of subsurface tubular
  • Have a firm grasp of the metallurgy of tubular as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various materials
  • Recommend casing to be used throughout the length of the well for all terrains and conditions
  • Accurately predict the effects of temperature, pressure and fluid properties on casing design as well as making appropriate corrections to design calculations
  • Analyse casing failures and proffer viable and cost-effective solutions
  • Utilize data analysis skills in well architecture problems
  • Perform design calculations by hand and have a working knowledge of the application of software like WellCAT

Training Methodology

Zoe Talent Solutions has a track record of delivering bespoke courses in a wide array of subjects. These courses are aptly tailored to the needs of the trainees, putting into consideration all possible partakers of the courses. Training is delivered by professionals who have gathered a lifetime and a half of industry experience with regards to the subject matter.

Zoe Talent Solutions also recognizes the need for hands-on experience in conjunction with theoretical knowledge, hence, all courses are designed to be the perfect mix of theory and practical sessions. Frequent communication amongst trainees as well as between trainees and trainers is encouraged. This is not only aimed at improving the learning process but also providing a platform for easier networking.

All trainings are designed using the aforementioned format which was conceptualized by Zoe Talent Solutions and called the Do–Review–Learn–Apply Model.
