Functions of casing
Types of Strings of Casing
DRIVE PIPE
CONDUCTOR PIPE
A short string of casing of a large dimeter which is normally the first casing string to be run in the hole
Surface Casing
A string of casing set in a wellbore to case off any freshwater sands at shallow depths and it set below the conductor pipe

Intermediate Casing
A string of casing set in the borehole to prevent the hole from caving and seal off a formation
A string of casing set in the borehole to prevent the hole from caving and seal off a formation
Production Casing
A casing string which used as a production tubing to run complete the well for production
A casing string which used as a production tubing to run complete the well for production
Liners
A string of casing which placed at which awell is to be drilled and used to save the money of drilling
Example Hole and String Sizes
Casing in an exploration well
Casing in development well

Casing shoes (reaming type
shoe)
Casing shoe (Directional type
nose)
Float collars
one way valve placed at one or two joints above the shoe prevents mud from entering
the csg while it is being lowered inside and cement from flowing back into csg
centralizers
advice run around the casing which is designed to support and centralize the casing in deviated wellbores

Scratcher
advice fastened to the outside of the casing which removes mud cake and the promote a good cement job
هى عباره عن اداه تستخدم لتنظيف البئر من خارج ال casing عن طريق ازاله mud cake اثناء عمليه ال cementing وذالك لعمل روابط جيده بين ال cement وwellbore well
selection of casing setting depths
Fracture gradient Definitionand importance
The forces affecting on the casing
external force
Which result from an external pressure which tends to collapse the casing
internal force
Which result from an internal pressure which tends to burst the casing
Longitudinal or axial loading
Axial loading my be tension due to dead load or compression due to buoyancy
