Title: A rational characterization of proprietary High Collapse casing grades

Conference ·
OSTI ID:166643

An increasing number of users are finding it necessary to utilize {open_quotes}High Collapse{close_quotes} casing grades for deep set and intermediate size drilling and production casing strings. Unfortunately, the great variety of proprietary (non-API) high collapse casing grades has made it extremely difficult for drilling and completion engineers to logically select the optimum size, weight, and grade of pipe meeting the design objective, due to the wide variation in collapse resistance claims and the guaranteed pipe dimensional and mechanical properties supporting that claim. This paper provides a technically sound method for selecting and safely using high collapse pipe.
