| Course Overview |
 | DESIGNED FOR Personnel responsible for planning, overseeing, and conducting casing and cementing operations; operator and service personnel
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO
-Select casing sizes and setting depths to achieve well objectives
- Determine casing loads for design purposes
- Design casing properties to meet burst, collapse, and tensile strength requirements
- Conduct casing running operations safely and successfully

- Determine best procedures for attaining successful primary cementing
- Conduct stage jobs, squeeze jobs and set cement plugs
ABOUT THE COURSE
This course builds a firm foundation in the principles and practices of designing, planning and conducting successful casing and cement jobs. The course uses a process-based perspective that takes participants from initial casing depth and size selection, casing and liner design procedures, casing running practices, planning and executing primary cementing, through remedial cementing and plugging operations. In addition to the necessary technical information and procedures, the course is laced with considerable practical, experience-based content. Participants will be furnished Dr. Byrom's textbook, Casing & Liners for Drilling and Completion, and computer spreadsheets to facilitate routine calculations.
One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants. |
