Advanced Casing Design

Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

The course emphasizes the practical application of casing design principles and theory from a basic level through to advance. It can be tailored for either level. It examines the nomenclature of casing design, the manufacturing processes, materials and properties, the theory of burst, collapse and axial loadings, design policies and procedures, API specifications with review of the theory behind these and their limitations, connections and special cases such as HP/HT and sour service.

Learning Objectives

• Performance properties – definitions
• Casing manufacturing processes, material selection and properties
• Special requirements including HPHT and sour service
• Stress / strain theory and the application to thick-walled cylinders
• The objectives of casing design and the fundamental design principles
• Casing connections
• Mechanical design and design safety factors - burst, collapse and axial loading and integrated tri-axial stress analysis
• Casing seat selection and the importance of kick tolerance
• Pressure testing
• Documentation and audit of the casing design process
• Commercial principles of casing procurement and their impact on casing design
• Casing design examples and practice

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?

The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.

Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?

These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.

How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
