Casing Design
Noetic Engineering assists operators and pipe suppliers with strain-based casing designs for challenging extreme-service tubular applications that are not covered by standard design conventions. A major focus at Noetic is on developing casing design methodologies, appropriate QA procedures, and deformation monitoring programs for such wells. Our understanding of post-yield material properties and mechanical stability limits of tubulars form a foundation for workable design solutions.
Project Examples:
- Casing and slotted liner design basis development and optimization for SAGD applications
- Casing deformation and fatigue analysis for geomechanically-influenced CSS operations
- Corrugated casing observation wells to measure formation movement
- Casing and liner failure investigations
- Application engineering for novel design strategies in deforming environments.
- Combined loading limits for slotted liner installation (torsion, axial load, bending, and helical buckling)
- Material optimization for thermal slotted liners
